You have to buy new primed cases
There's been people over on RFC doing this, From what I've read, it might be fun to play around with but it's not worth the time as far as accuracy is concerned

My understanding is that a big part of the accuracy equation is the composition and application process of the priming material.
Not something I'd want to try.
There is also the 22lr case that takes a primer ( or someone offered it a few years ago ) I do not know if these are still available and PTG sells the 40x rimfire action with the center fire firing pin
This is what I was interested in but as PW mentioned either of these reloading ideas did not reward with greater accuracy from what I read before

Nah, 22lrreloader.com has a kit that includes a tool to push out the firing pin dent and a new rim packer to put the new priming compound in. I don't know how well it works but it would be interesting, it's sure to be a ton of work though. Surely a lot easier to buy new primed cases.
Ok now that you mention it I think I remember seeing that. I even had that website bookmarked. I also remember thinking that's definitely not for me. Trying to make the rim of the cases uniform again and messing with priming compound does not sound like something I want to do.
I'm into 22 LR accuracy regardless of the rifle I'm shooting. I'll consider reloading 22 rimfire when people start getting Lapua accuracy for lower cost.
