Nope, the .22 Rem Jet was a factory round - for a revolver! S&W chambered for it for a while, but the highly tapered case was almost impossible to fire in a revolver without the case setting back and jamming the gun. The case was formed from .357 Magnum, but was odd. The "shoulder" took up most of the case, tapering almost from the web to the short neck.

It's an odd bullet diameter, also. It requires .221" bullets, IIRC.

It's long dead, for good reason. I doubt you'd find factory ammo anywhere except from a collector, and forming the cases would be really a booger. It would require a multi-die form set - if you could find THOSE.

There was a blown-out wildcat (Super Jet?) that looked something like a necked-down .256 Mag, but it wasn't successful, either.

I think you bought yourself a tent peg.
