d, you are just too young.
It was an early smokeless cartridge, 1890s. It was based on necking down the .32-20 Winchester and was basically for varmints; but farmers used them for everything. The world record whitetail, jordan buck, was killed with a 25-20. Factory loads are 1600-2000 fps.

Lots of original Win carbines in 25-20 are used in the cowboy action shooting game. Light recoil and small powder charge with cast boolet makes it popular.

My original 92 has a full octogon barrel and an ancient Lyman tang sight.

look at trail boss powder. It makes great sub loads in many of my guns.

Have you given any thought to 25ACP load? Even with the longer length, should still be subsonic. I know there are loadings for the little ACP that should get you close to where you want to go.
Is a suppressor on the horizon for the old octagon barrel? At subsonic it would sound like a beer being opening...maybe less! |

...oh yeah! thats gonna hurt!

NO SUSPRESSOR.
BUT 25 ACP INFO IS A GOOD IDEA |

I would look at https://winchestercollector.org/forum/winchester-shooting-and-hunting/25-20-win-loads-recommendations/ You could find load there.
I'm not a fan of trail boss, give too high of pressure, for low velocity. Fast pistol powders are touchy, to work with, if you don't have data. Reducing starting loads of slow pistol powder like h4227 or fast rifle powder like 4198, will give you lower pressure and should be easy enough, to get subsonic. It seems like 25-20 would work well, with cast http://www.lasc.us/FryxellCB25-20Win.htm |

It would be a SIN to even consider threading the bbl on an original/ancient M92 for an ultra modern idea like a suppressor.
