Here's a good experiment; Carefully pull 100 .22 Mag. jacketed bullets and reload in some .22 lr cases. Then shoot and compare with 100 stock .22 lr lead rounds for accuracy. Might be a little challenging, but certainly doable...

Have you done it?
I ask, because as described, it doesn't seem "doable" to me.
First, there is the whole pulling the bullets from rimfire ammo thing...
second, Reloading bullets into rimfire cases thing...(both of these make me very nervous, and I don't think standard tools are made for this)
Third, and most important, .22 magnum bullets are not only jacketed, but also slightly larger in diameter than .22LR. AND, since the .22LR uses a heel type bullet, that means that .22Mag bullets are slightly larger than the .22LR
case.
So, assuming you can actually get .22mag bullets into .22LR cases, how do you get them into .22LR
chambers?
If you want to discuss lead vs jacketed bullet accuracy, the .22Mag/.22LR is not a good example to use.
