CCI Clean-22 Suppressor Subsonic .22 LR 45 Grain Polymer-Coated Lead Round Nose (MPN: 980CC)
Suppressed rimfire shooters, pest controllers, and high-volume plinkers running .22 LR handguns, rifles, or suppressed carbines face a continuous cleaning battle: lead buildup and heavy carbon fouling inside suppressor baffles and action mechanisms. CCI engineered their Clean-22 Suppressor 45-grain Lead Round Nose (LRN) subsonic load specifically to solve this issue. Purpose-built to keep rimfire silencers clean while maintaining ultra-quiet subsonic flight performance, this innovative cartridge dramatically cuts cleaning maintenance and lead exposure.
At the center of CCI’s Clean-22 technology is an advanced polymer bullet coating that completely seals the 45-grain lead core. This protective polymer barrier reduces lead and copper fouling in the barrel bore and inside suppressor baffles by up to 60% compared to traditional lubricated lead bullets. Pushing a heavy 45-grain bullet at a subsonic 1,000 FPS, this load eliminates the sharp ballistic "crack" caused by supersonic flight, delivering exceptionally quiet shooting when paired with any .22 LR sound suppressor.
Out on the range or in the woods, expect reliable semi-automatic cycling and tight downrange shot groups. The optimized 45-grain projectile weight generates the necessary blowback force to cycle popular semi-auto pistols like the Ruger Mark IV, Smith & Wesson TX22, and 10/22 carbines consistently without short-stroking. Loaded into high-grade brass cases with CCI's industry-leading non-corrosive rimfire primers and clean-burning propellants, this 200-count value box is an essential choice for suppressed target shooting, backyard plinking, and quiet pest control.
Armorer Bench Notes & Technical Maintenance Guidance
Shipping Restrictions: Ammunition sales are strictly regulated. Check all state and local laws prior to ordering. Cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally. Must ship via ORM-D / Hazardous Ground transport.
Armorer Tip: Although the polymer coating significantly reduces lead buildup inside suppressor baffles, fine carbon residue will still collect over high round counts. When servicing rimfire suppressors, avoid harsh chemical solvents that attack polymer compounds or synthetic coatings. Standard ultrasonic cleaning with warm water or light gun oil wiping will easily clear carbon off baffles without damaging the internal finishes.
