Ben, I have a .17 Jet on a Martini, worked out real well. As for the straight .22 Jet, I'm sure you know the true bullet dia. is .222 (rimfire .22) rather than
.224 (centerfire .22 cals). I'm sure you could work things around (die modification, chamber modification) to use .224 bullets in the Jet case, you'd probably be better off from a praticality point (better brass availability--though you can form .22 Jet from .360 DW and others if needed, no issues with bullet dia.) to go to a .218 Bee based cartridge. On the other hand, the "no one else has one" factor would be real high with a Martini in a
.22 Jet. God luck with the project and keep us posted.

I think it's the Speer #9 manual that has 22 Jet loading data in it.
