I’m wanting to be on the upper scale of speed while still remaining sub sonic with this powder/bullet combo. A local shop makes these bullets in house for the 330blk so I’m not ordering any bullets offline to load from.

I have a suppressed 8” barreled 300BLK AND WANTED a good starting point.
 
my 16 inch barrel I load between 11.5 and 12 grains of cfeblk.
 
around 11.8 and 11.9 you can hear the sonic boom less than that and there is no sonic boom. I don't know what the velocity is
 
It depends on your altitude as well, speed of sounds changes with elevation. What altitude are you at OP? Here's a chart that will help.
