Besides lead, what are some metals used in making bullets?

Steel, copper, and brass (for casings)

Mostly sodium nitrate about 70%, about 20% sulfur, and 10% carbon.\n\nThe trick to making good black powder is that you have to have it all finely powdered, mixed well with water, then you dry it out in an oven (Yes, in an oven!)  If you don't have your oven temperature just right, you can blow yourself up!!!!  NOT to be tried at home!\n\nYou can buy a can of black powder for about $25 at a gun store.  Much safer and cheaper!\n\nWhy do you need black powder?  I hope you're not planning to blow anything up!\n\nI'm a chemist and I've tried making small (less than 1 g) quantities of black powder and it's never been very good... it just sort of sparkles and fizzles, doesn't really blow up.  So, if I were you, I'd buy the stuff at a gun store.\n\nI really hope you're an antique gun enthusiast and NOT a psycho/terrorist.\n\nTake care!\nDavid

Your questions are like asking what is the prettiest color for an automobile!  Personally I would suggest you shoot various weights and loads to see which are the most pleasant to shoot and which provide the best accuracy.  Even for practice you might want to stay away from lead as it tends to create more cleaning problems over the long haul.  You can find excellent prices for ammo at Natchez Shooters Supplies(www.natchezss.com).  Don't forget to wear hearing and eye protection!

Several lead alloys are widely used. Solder, an alloy that is nearly half lead and half tin, is a material with a relatively low melting point that is used to join electrical components, pipes and other metallic items. Type metal, an alloy of lead, tin and antimony, is a material used to make the type used in printing presses and plates. Babbit metal, another lead alloy, is used to reduce friction in bearings.

i heard there are tiny metals ranging in size between\nmicrodots and pieces of wire 1/3rd of an inch.

iron, copper, gold, tin.

maybe there's lead in it.\n\nnickel, zinc, iron, magnesium, etc.

Magnesium is used in sparklers\nCalcium is use as calcuim carbonate (limestone)

My guess would be Duraluminium (an Aluminum alloy) orsome sort of titanium alloy... \n\nDuraluminium is used in harddisks as the ring separating the platters and in expensive bikes.

usually metals are used to color the compounds. Look at glass blowing webites its similar in the construction. There are also salts that can be used.

At what altitude is the lead bullet being fired??   And what is the rest of your question??
435379
different bullets have different velocities.  What kind of bullet do you want to know about?

duralumin which is a alloy of magnesium and alminium is used for making planes body. this is so as it is very light alloy.\nbut if  u are talking about spacecrafts it is made from alloys containing titanium(the toughest metal).

Gunmetal is a bronze (copper, tin, etc.) and can be used too make bronze globe valve bodies (see link).  The second link shows a gunmetal globe valve except it has a stainless steel disk and seat.  I have seen globe valves with bronze disks (plugs) so they likely do exist in gunmetal.  Good luck.

Originally an alloy of tin with about 15% lead, and sometimes antimony and copper. Modern pewters are usually lead-free. \nPewter coins include the 1757 1 and 3 kreuzer of Bohemia struck during the siege of Prague, and a 5 franc French piece of 1831. Today, Pewter is still used in many things, namely collectible statues, replica coins, monuments, etc. \nCommercially, the new Less Expensive Pewter Coins cost $ 0.98 each, plus $390.00 designing charges for a 1 1/4" sized coin, if orders are placed for 1,000 pieces, or more, at a time. (Figures from : www.churchstewardship.com/coins).\n...From this, one can guesstimate that the actual production costs must be around $ 0.50 to $ 0.60, a piece - when produced in 1,000s. \nHope this helps.
