You can't. You don't want to shoot .22 through a .223 suppressor either. .22 powder is filthy and the non-jacketed lead bullets splatter molten lead particles that build up in the suppressors. The better .22 silencers can be disassembled for clean that out of them.

Get a .22 can and a 7.62 can. That way you can shoot .223 and 7.62 through the 7.62 suppressor and .22LR, .22 magnum and .17 HMR through the rimfire can.

Hopefully it's clearer now.
