Rifle rounds through a pistol suppressor
I don’t recommend, too much pressure. From AAC.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Liberty Cans Mystic – rated for .223 out of a 16″ barrel and full-auto rated.
But AAC’s right about full-bore .30 caliber rounds in general.
I imagine it would be possible to build a suppressor to handle pistols and centerfire rifles, but it’d be 3 or 4 lbs and you’d pay a leg and both arms for it.

Some exceptions: 300 Whisper, 338 Spectre work fine through 9×19 rated suppressors.

Thanks to Oleg for chiming in. That was my planned application, good to hear verification.

ain’t that 300 whisper subsonic only? I thought 300 whisper super sonic loads would still cause issues with most 9mm cans.

I think that video gave a piss poor explanation. Having more powder DOES NOT equal higher pressure AT ALL. Example: Black Powder cartridges and shotgun shells typically have more powder than many, if not most modern center-fires, but they ALL operate at lower pressures than a 9x19mm. Do they really think a .45-70 has a higher chamber pressure than a .223 Remington?
What I wonder about is what if you have a pistol caliber suppressor, like for 9×19, and you have a rifle caliber that obviously uses a longer barrel AND operates at a very low pressure by modern standards, like the .35 Remington? Will that work? I have a Marlin in 336 in .35 Rem, and a 9mm can, and a lathe, but I’m loathe to try it. Now, if someone wants to let me borrow THEIR can…
As Oleg observed, rounds designed to be subsonic at the end of a rifle barrel usually burn most of their powder before the bullet leaves the muzzle, and are thusly, low pressure at the MUZZLE, will work in a pistol can. Chamber pressure DOES NOT dictate the muzzle pressure, and chances are if it’s built for a relatively high pressure round like 9mm or .40 S&W, it will work with LOW PRESSURE rifle cartridges. I’ll bet that a .40 S&W can on the end of a M1892 in .38-40 loaded very hot with smokeless would be dandy.
