The Winchester 52 is a great rifle. My uncle had one and when he passed away nobody knew where it was . I ended up buying a Kimber Model 82 and a Ruger 77/22 which are great shooting rifles.
Look at the description on any modern 22lr copper colored offering and it will say "plated". A jacket is several thousandths of an inch thick depending on the design, even in 22CF, that is a separate piece of metal from the lead alloy part of the bullet. The 2 pierces are swaged together and form a jacketed bullet. The "plating" is tens of thousanths of an inch thick. It's cosmetic as much anything else. I love Remington Golden Bullets but they aren't jacketed at all. If your boxes say jacketed it may be advertising or they may be some of the jacketed 22 rounds produced during WW2. Either way, if you have actual jacketed 22 rounds they may well be worth several dollars a round and the boxes, if in good shape, many more dollars to collectors. I'd be very interested in seeing a pic or a description of the brand, type, etc of what you have there.
I just did a google search and the only domestically available 22rf ammo I can find that advertises itself as jacketed is an Aguila offering. I can find none available anywhere. There is also one seller advertising "jacketed" Federal 22 ammo that is clearly copper plated and not jacketed.
There are also those who take fired 22RF casings and make them into jackets for 22CF which they then use to swage home made bullets.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
