That's sharp. You'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

Really only an issue if you can’t service the suppressor yourself because of the crud buildup. If the suppressor is user-serviceable, it shouldn’t make a difference.

That's true, but a number of cans are made sealed these days. The powder and lead residue that a .22, or really any cast lead bullet, leaves inside a can is far worse than a jacketed bullet. Even if taking it apart to clean it is an option, make sure that it's worth the hassle.

If you do opt to run cast bullets or .22 LR through a can, put silver anti seize on the disassembly threads first. Also, break the seal on the disassembly threads every 20 rounds or so (just loosen a turn and then tighten it back up). I once had to send a .22 can back to Gemtech and it took THEM a month to loosen it.... After it sat in kroil in my safe for 3 months just prior. It was that stuck after 150 rounds.

Get a separate rimfire can if. You'll be shooting .22 LR or only shoot jacketed rimfire like 17 hmr or .22wmr. Don't put .22 lr through a center fire rifle can.
