Presuming you have good accuracy without the suppressor, and erratic patterns WITH the suppressor, I would presume that the threads aren't concentric with the bore resulting in baffle strikes.

Take a look at the suppressor and look for "shiny fins" on the baffles. You may have to look from both the front and the back end. If the baffle strikes are really bad, you may have pieces of the copper jacket left behind/rattling in the can.

You could also remove the bolt, put the suppressor on and look down the bore to see if there are any issues with baffles in the way of the bore.

The other thing that *could* be an issue is the can not being secured tightly and backing off during firing. (Much less likely by the description you provided.)
