I have a TRG-22, and am in the process of performing a ladder test and OCW test for load development. Have you, once you've mounted a suppressor, found any change in the results of the tests, such that the end result is different?

Re: Ladder test and suppression
Yes. Suppressors do affect the way a cartridge shoots, both through velocity alteration and harmonic changes. What wins your ladder test using the can might not do so without it.
I mostly shoot suppressed, so I do all my load development with the can. My TRG-22 with AAC Cyclone likes 175 SMKs over 43.9 of Varget, .010" into the lands (sub half-MOA out to 315yds at my range).

Re: Ladder test and suppression
Your load is almost exactly the same was mine. I'm looking forward to doing a ladder with the can, but I'm in purgatory right now.
