Check the rifling twist of the Savage; I'll bet it won't handle the super-heavy subsonic Aguila 60 gr. loads. In most .22s those will keyhole. With a suppressor you might even get a baffle strike because it's already tumbling inside the suppressor.

You're probably going to want to use standard subsonic loads that have a standard bullet weight unless your Savage has an abnormally fast rifling twist or you just want to risk destroying your suppressor.
