I'm with you, on every point you mention

Can you tell me if my ears deceive me....when shooting a .22 versus a 7.26 x 25mm?

There's a big, giant difference....in my subjective / objective brain.

FWIW-

.30 cal with between 5 and 10 grains of powder? According to my handloading book... vs... about 2 grains of powder and .22 cal?

Yep, the .30 cal is louder.

Both are supersonic.
