    If you mean you want to carry one gun and both types of ammo on one trip, then I can understand. but wouldnt your gun be zeroed for only one ammo? not only there is a significant drop, the barrel whip wouldalso be different resulting in some level of lateral shift of POI as well. Unless you run tests for different set up to find a normal ammo and subsonic ammo that lands on the same vertical line.

    When I go out on a farm for a day hunt, I also like the option of being able to shoot small game under 70 meters with a 22LR and longer shots/bigger game with a 223. My solution is just carry both guns.
