If you are a reloader you can do it fairly cheap, but just know you are asking for trouble. What twist is your rifle?

9.7gr of trailboss and a 175 sMK worked for MY rifle. YMMV.

Re: Expecting my tax stamp soon, and need .308 subson.
Trail boss is my go to. 9-12g depending on barrel/bullet combo.
Note****** Work up the load with the can off and watch targets for key holing. You can destroy your can if you are not shooting perfectly round holes!!
I have ran 155g through 175g at subsonic speeds. They are a lot of fun and suprisingly accurate.

Take Jon's advice and work on the load with the suppressor OFF
Check for round circles at 100 or better yet, 200yd. Make sure you're not getting a slow epicyclic wobble that can cause baffle strikes.
With subsonic ammo you should work from high to low, as opposed to the old "low to high" with supersonic full bore ammo. If you don't see the bullet print on the paper, pull the bolt and check that you don't have one stuck in the bore.
Only AFTER you've found the ammo to be stable from the muzzle and you are satisfied with the performance, then put the suppressor on.

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I've got plenty of time to work up a load until my tax stamp comes in.

Bullet stabilization, squib rounds, and baffle strikes. A lot of it depends on the twist rate of the rifle.
