I also have some of the 60 gr. Aguila "SSS" ammo, basically a .22 short case with a very long lead .22 slug in it. These hit pretty hard. I wouldn't want to soak one up.

Were the numbers on the Interceptor from a rifle or a pistol? I have shot some out of a couple pistols and it seemed rather underpowered to me. I suspect that the power they are using really needs a longish barrel to really get up to speed.
The SSS is a very interesting round. I did some limited wetpack testing with it and it penetrates pretty deeply for a 22 and tumbles at bit. When it is going sideways through the target it makes a much bigger hole.
