    @HNTMAD here is what I've done.
    I got some 140gr corelokts and cut the tip off to expose some more lead. They now weigh around 130gr. My rifle is a factory rem 700 with an 18" barrel.

    Here are the initial velocity results. No suppressor
    708 trailboss subsonic loads
    130gr projectile

    9.5gr 1052fps
    9.0gr 1022fps
    8.5gr 983fps
    8.0gr 938fps
    7.5gr 888fps

    I chose the 9.0gr load and loaded up some more and shot them with the suppressor, average velocity increased to 1055fps.
    I shot 3 shot groups at 25, 50 and 100yds.
