A lighter bullet helps felt recoil, the 125 gr SST from hornaday is noticeably more comfortable to shoot than the 147 gr mil loads.
Gas guns and suppressors are not made for each other, if you cut the gas to the point you notice a difference, you will cut the reliability of the weapon. If it is just a paper puncher, dial the gas back to zero and open it up a little at a tile till it works again. The best solution is a bolt gun.
If you reload, you can custom load ammo that is not as gassey by using different powders. With commercial ammo, you are pretty much stuck.
