22lr Can on a 223 weapon

The amount of gas being processed through a .223 Suppressor is ~1700x the amount of gas being processed in a 22LR Can. The Universal Gas Law indicates that the function of Gas produced under pressure is exponentially higher in Volume, Pressure and more importantly heat.

As to the Can you currently are using, you mention that it's secured with a "hose clamp"? All of my cans are a bi-lock connector. Having said that, I will say that the Bi-Lock shows signs of thrusting forward after about 500 rounds.

Lastly, back to the clamp, and to a lesser degree, the suppressor bore diameter. Actually, I would be extremely concerned about Suppressor to barrel bore concentricity. I have seen the effects(read: severe injury) to a person who used a thread on Suppressor that was loose. It was a Gemtech on a AR15.
One shot the can became a grenade. Three people went to the hospital. The shooter was in ICU for 10days, rehab (permanently blinded) for 3 months.
