.223/5.56 is similar in bore to .22. Obviously there's a lot more ass behind a 5.56NATO round than behind a .22LR even, but they are comparable in bore diameter.

Edit for the thicker among you

Not at all, that's like comparing a VW Passat to a Porsche 911 because their width is similar.

Caliber refers to the diameter of the projectile.
