CCI Clean-22 Rimfire Ammo with Polymer-Coated Bullets
Earlier this year, CCI introduced a new type of .22 LR rimfire ammunition. CCI’s innovative Clean-22 Ammo features polymer-coated bullets. This is actually a pretty important development. The bullet coating on CCI’s new Clean-22 ammo provides three main benefits:
1. Copper fouling in the barrel is greatly reduced.
2. Lead fouling in the barrel is greatly reduced.
3. Lead build-up in suppressors is reduced by 60-80%.
CCI offers two versions of Clean-22 ammo: High Velocity (944CC, 1235 FPS MV) and Subsonic (934CC, 1070 FPS MV). Both feature 40gr lead bullets with polymer coatings. The High Velocity ammo has red-coated bullets, while the Subsonic has blue-coated bullets. MSRP for both is $9.95 for 100 rounds. This ammo is available right now from TargetSportsUSA for $6.99 per 100ct High Velocity or 100ct Subsonic.

Clean-22 Ammo with Polymer-Coated Bullets
Clean-22 uses an exclusive polymer bullet coating to greatly reduce copper and lead fouling in the barrel without leaving a residue. It also cuts lead buildup in suppressors 60 to 80 percent. Both the Sub-Sonic and High Velocity loads feature a 40-grain round nose lead bullet with geometry that’s been optimized for accuracy. With dependable CCI priming and consistent propellant, Clean-22 provides reliable cycling through semi-automatics and all 22 LR firearms.

Interesting but fouling really isn’t a issue with a rimfire barrel.
Editor: It all depends on the application, round count, and whether you run a suppressor. Lead fouling in rimfire suppressors IS a concern.
“Copper fouling in the barrel is greatly reduced.” ??? Since “conventional” 22 RF use lead bullets and (presumably) brass casings, how is there any “copper” fouling to reduce?
Editor: There are many types of .22 LR ammo with copper plated bullets, including the Bulk-box Winchester ammo, sold in large quantity. Winchester, CCI, Federal, Aguila, also make .22 LR with Copper-Plated or Copper-Jacketed bullets. See, e.g.: https://www.precisionreloading.com/cart.php#!l=CCI&i=A29 . This stuff is actually VERY popular for general plinking use.
In our Youth Smallbore League we used donated CCI “Christmas” load, which was also polymer coated, a few years back in 64-actioned Anschutz rifles. It gunked up the chambers (hard bolt closure and opening) and barrels (cleaning patches came out with green and/or red flakes). We were able to trade it for some CCI SV…
