Cleaner barrels, better accuracy: what tactical shooters need to know

How the polymer-coated bullet changes maintenance

CCI CLEAN-22 uses an exclusive polymer bullet coating designed to minimize copper and lead fouling in .22 LR barrels without leaving a sticky residue. For operators who run high-volume training sessions or extended suppressed strings, that reduction in fouling translates to fewer cleaning cycles and more time on target.

Suppressor-friendly performance

The polymer coating also cuts lead buildup in suppressors by an estimated 60 to 80 percent, an important tactical and safety consideration when using .22 LR subsonic loads in cans. Reduced lead accumulation lowers cleaning frequency and preserves baffle integrity over long-term use.

Accuracy and cycling you can trust

The SubSonic loads feature a 40-grain round-nose lead bullet with geometry optimized for accuracy. Matched with dependable CCI priming and consistent propellant, CLEAN-22 delivers smooth, predictable velocities that aid sight tracking and group cohesion. Shooters moving between bolt actions, semi-autos, or revolvers will notice more consistent point-of-impact and reliable cycling through semi-automatics and all .22 LR firearms.

For technical buyers: CCI is a long-established brand in rimfire manufacturing, and the model variants available under CLEAN-22 provide options for both suppressed and open-fire applications.

Value and practical considerations

At a retail price of $10.99 per box (verify quantity on the product page), CLEAN-22 represents a balance between performance and economy for frequent shooters who want to cut maintenance without sacrificing accuracy. It’s sold in our Rimfire Ammo category and works well for plinking, small-bore training, and technical drills where repeatable ballistics matter.
