I'm using 175gr Hornady Sub-X pills, Win cases, currently CCI primers (but to be fair it will be whatever is about going forwards), and 9.5gr of Trailboss powder. Seated to the cannelure on the bullet, crimped with a Lee factory crimp die.

From a 20" Rem barrel 1-10", that's getting 1060FPS about and stable through the target. Very quiet. If I recall right (it's written down downstairs) it's a 7" drop from my full power load 100m zero. For my scope it's set the scope to 6x and the 400 yd drop line is the 50m zero.

If you are going to be using TB powder, start higher than that and test without a suppressor so you can be sure that the pill exits and is stable, then work down to the velocity you want making sure that it exits on each shot and is stable.
