Blazer Brass Clean-Fire suppressor ammunition

One look at the show floor in Las Vegas, Nev. at SHOT Show last month and it was abundantly clear that suppressors were one of the hottest properties around. New suppressor companies like EchoCore abounded, while other companies like Hi-Point and Lyman announced new suppressor product lines. With this increase in interest in sound suppression, more focus has been placed on the entire suppressed shooting experience.

With this in mind, CCI Ammunition announced its all-new Blazer Brass Clean-Fire Suppressor, a new line of ammunition specifically engineered to deliver optimal performance through suppressed handguns and carbines. The three subsonic loads feature Total Metal Jacket (TMJ) bullets, clean-burning powders and lead-free primers to reduce fouling in suppressors. The new loads are a 147-grain 9mm, a 180-grain .40 S&W and a 230-grain .45 ACP.

"Shooters who utilize suppressors want ammunition that runs clean, performs consistently, and minimizes maintenance," said Handgun Product Line Specialist Gen Quale. "Blazer Brass Clean-Fire Suppressor delivers reliable subsonic performance while significantly reducing fouling in both the barrel and suppressor."

Clean-Fire loads feature fully enclosed Total Metal Jacket bullets and lead-free primers designed to reduce heavy-metal fouling. This purpose-built ammunition will also benefit shooters in other ways, resulting in less residue in both the barrel and the suppressor for easier maintenance, along with loads that meet power factor requirements for competitive shooting.

CCI’s Blazer Brass line of ammunition has long been known for offering value in addition to reliability, with the brass-cased rounds being appreciated by folks who handload. The Blazer line encompasses a wide variety of calibers, bullet weights and even bulk-packaging options. With the addition of the Clean-Line Suppressor ammunition, the company can now add suppressor-specific ammunition to its Blazer Brass product line.
