Considering it was a Magnum, that's not too surprising.

I don't think it has anything to do with being a 'magnum.'
Subsonic loads always help, but there are very quiet suppressed .44mags and .357 magnums. The difference is they're often quiet because they're used in a single shot, lever, or bolt action which often don't let any gases escape from anywhere but the muzzle. I don't think a milder cartridge would make much difference in a 'suppressed' revolver, without any type of gas seal, unless you're talking about super mild 'cowboy loads' that barely use any powder and then, the only difference would be because less powder = less gasses escaping the cylinder gap. The gap is still the problem.
