Wimchester still load the Long:

In Australia Winchester manufacture the .22 Long Z or Zimmer. These are also sold in Europe.

There is a decent write up on the Zimmer vs .22 long here:

In my CZ452 I found the Long Z to be inaccurate, with a lot of vertical stringing, to the point of patterns rather than groups. The CCI Quiet .22 has acceptable accuracy and is as easy (or hard) on the ears as the Long Z, so that's what I shoot when noise is a consideration.
If I had a firearm intended for .22 Long only, such as the S&W Lady Smith with its delicate forcing cone, I would think twice before shooting it with any round. Junkers and clunkers sure, anything collectible? Probably not.
