One could also make his own jacketed bullets with the use of swaging dies. An outfit by the name of Corbin use to and maybe still does sell bullet swaging dies in any weight and configuration that you might want.
Dave Corbin still makes bullet swaging dies.
In fact, you can make 22 caliber bullets out of a RCBS Rockchucker, using fired 22LR cases as the bullet jacket, and lead cores as the inside material. Unfortunately, this only makes a 55grain bullet, if you want the jacket to cover everything. If not, you can go as long as you want, or you can buy longer jackets.
His only caveat about 22LR jacketed bullets... you need to drive them a bit slower because the thin jackets then to shed from the lead when you drive them too fast. Plus, on soft skinned target, they will shed their jackets, often into itty-bitty pieces as the bullet encounters a sudden change in spin. Pink mist.
