Going to try this, anyone else have a suggestion?

Powder: Trail Boss 12.1gr
Primer: Federal 210
Bullet: Nosler 70gr Ballistic Tip

Suppressed Savage Striker is the eater.

It's very border line.

The published data has a 100gr bullet at just under 1100 f/s with 8.0gr Trail Boss I think 12.1gr will still be super sonic with a 75gr bullet. JMHO

Some food for thought. Haven't shot it yet. 300 blk mcgowen barrel.

I do not think that is going to do what you want.  I would use a heavier bullet if you have a twist that will stabilize it (~1:8 for the DTAC 115gr) but even then that is not a good cartridge for subsonic loads.

Got it from here.

I am reading a 1:10 twist.

Trail boss is a great powder for subsonic loads in big cases.
When using trail boss for sub loads start on the high side of powder charge range and work down until you get the velocity you want. This approach avoids bullets stuck in the barrel and/or baffle strikes from slow unstable bullets.
I have no experience using it in the 243, in my 308 using 8.5 grains with a 180 grain round nose flat base bullet gives very good accuracy @ 1000 f/s measured by my crony.
