What are the possible substitutes? Stainless steel, aluminum, copper, silver, gold, platinum?

Somehow, “I’ll pump ya full of steel (or aluminum, copper, silver, gold, platinum)” doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Silver makes a lousy bullet. I would think aluminum with a steel core would work. And I have a short (Two word) comment for the EPA.
Bullets can be made from copper but there’s almost no reasonable substitute for lead shot, anything else close to being as dense is expensive. That is, bullets for center-fire weapons can be made from copper, but a 22 might not really have the power to move copper bullets across rifling and most rimfire weapons could not easily be cleaned for copper fouling. Such a law might spell the end of the 22 and other new rimfire calibers.

If the Lefty looney PC crowd have their way.....cottonballs!
Depleted uranium! But, silver bullets might work best on these vampires. LOL.
Bismuth.
Its next to lead on the periodic table, with similar chemical and physical properties, but not nearly as toxic as lead.
Bizmuth.
We have to use it during duck season.
It works but it’s $.
