Realistically, just avoid sealed cans. The ones that are user serviceable are often marked working for lots of calibers. This one from the local-to-me manufacturer says you can use it with 5.56, 5.45, .22 Hornet, .22 LR, .22 WMR, .17 HMR, and .17 Mach 2.
You misunderstood me. Rimfire cans and pistol caliber cans are great user serviceable. Rifle cans not so. Rifles put out ALLOT more pressure and take apart cans in these calibers are not even made by most of the big companies for good reason. Most every quality rifle suppressor is WELDED together as threads are a weak point.

Huntertown makes good cans. I have a Kestrel myself great can.
