Considering you are seeing prices of $75-$100 a box reloading is probably a good idea. The good news is the .22 Jet is made from a necked down .357 Magnum cases. With prices like that for loaded ammo it would be well worth contacting RCBS for forming dies and resize all the .357 Magnum brass you will ever need for loading the .22 Jet. The original .22 Jet used a 40gr .224" bullet and was loaded to ~2450-2460 fps. There are plenty of 40gr .224" bullets available so components shouldn't be a problem since you have the brass and bullets easily covered. Powders are the same as used in the .357 Magnum too. You can use H110/W296, 4227 and probably get really good performance from Hodgdon Lil'Gun too.
