Hello from the UK, .300 subsonic question

Hello from the UK :) .
I am interested in the .300 Whisper for shooting foxes.
A subsonic round has a lot of advantages here :- our little island is crowded and generally unfriendly towards shooters, so we like to draw as little attention to ourselves as possible. Suppressors are legal and widely used, in fact I manufacture them myself.

There was an article in a UK shooting magazine which dealt with loading subsonic .308. The writer had severe problems with accuracy, ricochets and bullets not expanding. Eventually he seated the bullets backwards in the case, which worked OK ( he said ) but gave poor ballistic performance.

I am not worried about the non-expansion so much as the ricochet issue.

Anyone help me out ?

The gun will either be a Remy 700 or more likely a UK legal AR-15 ( without gas system, so single shot )
