If we can’t shoot lead, that only leaves say, spent uranium, or tungsten (the stuff in the middle of all our Ft. Knox gold), or silver.

SILVER? Have you ever tried to cast silver bullets?
I have and I can tell you the lone Ranger didn’t cast
his own. Silver requires a much higher melting point
with a consequent higher solidification temp.
Almost impossible to cast in bullet molds, it
freezes before filling the cavity.
Centrifical casting or sand or cuttle bone
molds would work.

I once melted down some silver a jeweler friend had
gotten on a trade, it was an ingot the size of a
loaf of white bread, Spanish treasure, proof marks etc
we cast it into smaller blocks so he could handle it.
I got the leftover bits and tried to cast bullets from
it but even preheating the molds was not successful.
No wonder there are so many werewolves.
