Description
If you're running a suppressor on your .40 S&W, these loads are designed with you in mind. The CCI Blazer Clean-Fire Suppressor line uses subsonic velocities paired with Total Metal Jacket bullets and lead-free primers that substantially cut down on residue buildup. That means fewer carbon deposits on your suppressor baffle stack and less gunk fouling your barrel, which translates to less frequent teardowns and more time doing what you actually want to be doing.
What Makes the Blazer Clean-Fire Different
The magic here is in the combination. Lead-free primers eliminate airborne lead at the firing point, and the fully enclosed TMJ bullet keeps everything contained. Paired with clean-burning powder, this ammunition cuts the heavy-metal residue that typically builds up inside suppressors. You'll notice the difference after a couple of range sessions.
Range Performance and Competition Ready
These rounds deliver consistent accuracy you can count on, and they hit the power factor requirements for competitive shooting events. At 970 fps muzzle velocity, they're genuinely subsonic, so you get that quiet performance you're paying for with your suppressor. Whether you're running them through a handgun or a pistol-caliber carbine, they cycle reliably and hit where you aim.
Brass Cases Built to Last
CCI loaded these on quality brass cases, so if you're into handloading, you've got a solid platform to work with. The Blazer brand has earned its reputation over decades as a value option that doesn't cut corners on reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these rounds subsonic?
Yes. These Blazer Clean-Fire rounds load at 970 fps, which is well below the sound barrier. That's the whole point when you're running a suppressor. You avoid the sonic crack that happens with supersonic ammo, so your suppressor does the job it was designed for.
Will the Clean-Fire primers really reduce fouling in my suppressor?
The lead-free primer design combined with the fully encapsulated TMJ bullet and clean-burning powder significantly cuts residue compared to standard rounds. You'll see less buildup of carbon and heavy metals on your baffles over extended shooting sessions, which means easier maintenance and longer intervals between cleaning.
Can I use these in competition?
Yes. These rounds meet power factor requirements for competitive shooting events. They're accurate, consistent, and approved for match use in organizations that recognize power factors.
Are the brass cases reloadable?
Yes. CCI uses quality brass with standard boxer-type primers and primer pockets, so these cases are suitable for reloading. That's one reason the Blazer line has been popular with handloaders for years.
