New from CCI is Clean-22 rimfire ammo, which uses a polymer bullet coating to reduce copper and lead barrel fouling.

There are two loads available in subsonic (blue) and high-velocity (red) versions. Both loads feature a 40-grain round nosed lead bullet. CCI mentions in their press release that the bullet has geometry that has been optimized for higher accuracy.

According to CCI, Clean-2 ammo "provides flawless cycling through semi-automatics and all .22 LR firearms."
