Great question, I'd like to know, too.
Maybe something to do with the weight of the bullets? |

Generally standard velocity ammo is designed for precision shooting like Olympic style small bore while high velocity is designed for general plinking and activities with lesser accuracy demands. Plain lead bullets are almost universally more accurate than plated in 22's so target ammo tends not to be plated

Quoted:
... Plain lead bullets are almost universally more accurate than plated in 22's so target ammo tends not to be plated Target grade rimfire ammo is rarely plated because it doesn't need to be. Shoot plain lead at high velocity and you'll get lots of barrel leading. To minimize the leading with high velocity rimfire loadings, manufacturers plate or wash the bullets with copper or brass. |
