For shooters who demand reliable cycling, minimal maintenance, and clean barrels, modern rimfire ammunition must solve fouling without sacrificing accuracy. Whether preparing a training session, running suppressed rimfire drills, or maintaining a range-ready rifle, the right load changes the maintenance curve and extends service intervals for both firearms and suppressors.

CCI CLEAN-22 uses an exclusive polymer bullet coating to greatly reduce copper and lead fouling in the barrel without leaving a residue. That polymer finish also cuts lead buildup in suppressors by 60 to 80 percent, a significant reduction for anyone running a rimfire can frequently. At a street price of $10.99 per box, it’s an affordable upgrade for high-volume shooters who want less barrel scraping and fewer suppressor cleanings.

Key performance features

CCI CLEAN-22 is built around a 40-grain round nose lead bullet in the High Velocity loads, with geometry optimized for accuracy. That profile balances reliable feeding in semiautomatic .22 LR platforms and consistent ballistics for sighting and small-bore work. Dependable CCI priming and a consistent propellant ensure flawless cycling through semiautomatics and across the full range of .22 LR firearms.

Polymer coating: practical benefits

The exclusive polymer coating reduces metal-to-metal contact of bullet and bore, which lowers copper and lead transfer to rifling. The practical result is longer intervals between deep bore cleans, better accuracy retention across strings of fire, and reduced maintenance time.

Suppressor-friendly performance

Reducing lead buildup by 60–80% in suppressors is meaningful for range and serious recreational shooters. Less build-up extends service intervals and helps preserve baffle integrity and function. For suppressed .22 training or pest control, the cleaner operation equates to more rounds on target per maintenance cycle. View product details and pricing.

Who should choose this ammo

Serious rimfire shooters, instructors running high-round-count classes, and owners of suppressed .22 platforms will appreciate the reduced fouling and consistent feeding. CCI’s reputation for dependable primers and quality control makes this an easy choice for anyone wanting cleaner barrels and reliable cycling without changing firearm setup or tolerances.
