Suppressors are often referred to as “cans” because they look like, well, a soda can on the end of a barrel. Note that “silencer” is really not the correct term; suppressors don’t actually silence anything. They merely reduce the audible sound emanating from the muzzle of a hunter’s rifle to differing degrees.
CCI’s new Clean-22 rimfire loads feature a polymer jacket which is billed as reducing fouling in the barrel and suppressor. We put them to the test and confirmed that claim, and then some.
