There was some real live full metal jacketed .22 LR manufactured for the U.S. military's aircrew survival weapons back in the 1960's and 1970's, I think. It would be collector stuff now. One reason .22 rimfire ammunition has been affordable is that the bullets used were just lead alloy with maybe a copper wash or thin plate that would not compare to true jacketing.
