New Rimfire Ammo from CCI
Terry Nelson 07.03.20
CCI Ammunition, long known for its excellent rimfire products, is offering three brand-new products for 2020. First, the new Clean-22 Suppressor 22 LR rounds, packaged in CCI’s new easy-to-pour, bulk-pack cartons. Next, CCI is offering two 22 WMR loads along with a 17 HMR load, all three also packaged in easy pour bulk cartons.
The Clean-22 Suppressor ammo uses an advanced polymer bullet coating to reduce lead fouling inside a suppressor by up to 60 percent. The exclusive feature allows much easier suppressor cleaning and maintenance, as well as excellent accuracy. With dependable CCI priming and consistent propellant, the loads cycle reliably through any suppressed firearm.
“Clean-22 ammunition provides an advantage because its polymer coating replaces the wax that is traditionally applied to 22 LR ammunition,” according to a CCI Rimfire Product spokesman. “The goal of traditional wax is to protect the barrel of the gun from buildup of lead or copper created as bullets pass through it. But this wax does not totally encapsulate the bullet, so metal and wax deposits eventually build up and the gun needs to be cleaned. However, because the Clean-22 polymer coating completely encapsulates the bullet, it does a better job protecting the barrel from dirt and buildup than wax. The cleaner results are quite impressive.”
Features of Clean-22 ammo include:
- Black polymer bullet coating reduces lead fouling in suppressors up to 60 percent
- Ballistically optimized 40-grain lead round nose bullet
- Reliable function in semi-automatic firearms
- Extremely reliable CCI priming and brass case
The Clean-22 Suppressor comes in the easy pour 200 round bulk carton. MSRP $30.99
