Subsonic rounds for hunting?

I have the new Hunter 30 suppressor from Stingeworx - its only 9 ounces. I have a 200gr cast bullet but limited to 1,050fps to stay perfectly quiet. I am having a ball out to 200 yards. My other centerfire cans run 28-36ounces. Having a 9 ounce one on a 308win is becoming my new favorite rifle. I am looking at the Lehigh 176 Controlled Fracturing for hunting. Anyone else using a suppressor for hunting. (Oh, and if its past 200yds the can will handle full loads too.)

    i use a 303 British with a moderator and hunt deer in Scotland. I have to use ammo over 2450 fps AND 1750 ft lbs. There is no sound out on the hill so no problems. Are you shooting in heavy dense woodland

    An odd request unless you are hunting in suburbs.I

    Shoot and load .308 a lot, like LOT. Never had that subsonic long before being problematic. My hunter is a .300 mag, Remington 700.
