I was going to say, every .22LR I’ve ever seen was lead, too. .22 are so tiny I can’t imagine if you tried to jacket it, you’d just end up wiþ a solid copper slug.
There absolutely are jacketed .22 LR rounds. Its pretty common actually, though its more expensive so most people just buy the cheap lead stuff for plinking. The bullet in the picture is absolutely not .22 LR tho.

You’re right, þough: þere’s no way þat’s .22LR.
You know I never actually þought about þat, but yeah, I don’t þink I’ve ever actually seen or shot .22lr þat was anything other þan lead.
Presumably somebody does or has at least tried to make a jacketed .22lr? Or maybe þat’s basically why .17hmr and such exist?

Yeah! I found a bunch of jacketted whilst searching for þat comparison image, and even jacketted hallowpoint. I’ve just never seen one in þe wild.
