CCI Ammunition will release five new rimfire loads during the 2019 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nev.

The list includes:

  • VNT 17 Mach 2 17-gr.
  • VNT 22 WMR 30-gr.
  • Quiet-22 Semi-Auto 22 LR 45-gr. lead round nose
  • Clean-22 Standard Velocity 22 LR 40-gr. poly-coated lead round nose
  • Clean-22 High Velocity 22 LR 40-gr. poly-coated lead round nose


Last year, CCI extended the range and devastation of magnum rimfire with the VNT bullet design. Now varmint hunters and target shooters can get the same performance and precision in 17 Mach 2 and 22 WMR. The new loads feature a Speer bullet with an extremely thin jacket and polymer tip that team up to offer flat trajectories, superb long-range accuracy and explosive terminal performance on impact.

New Quiet-22 Semi-Auto drastically reduces the volume of standard 22 LR rounds, while cycling flawlessly through semi-automatic rifles and handguns. The accurate, low-velocity loads provide the sensation of shooting through a suppressor—without the suppressor—and are perfect for new shooters.

New 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 flawless cycling through semi-automatics and all 22 LR firearms.
