Bear with me on this post, it is not going to be concise or elegant:
So we all know you can't really shoot a 223 in a 22lr suppressor because it will damage it. I assume is it because of the pressure?
And some 9mm suppressors claim they are rated for 223 as well, but some are not. Again I assume it is because of pressure.
So lets take the liberty mystic. 9mm can, rated for a whole host of calibers including 223, 300blk, 357 mag etc. From looking at the pressure generated by those calibers in my lee manual, most stay south of of both 40k psi and cup, while the 223 runs up around 50k (cup or psi, depending on the load. I know they are not the same thing, lets not focus on that), and from the 223 limitations on libertys website looks to be at the edge of what the suppressor can take.
So theoretically, would any caliber bullet that fit down the tube and generated less than 50k in pressure work on that can? Ex: 30/30 tops out around 40kpsi, fits down the tube, and so by my logic would work, but is not listed on liberty's website as supported, which makes me think my logic is probably wrong.
