Silly question, But anyone ever make any silver bullets?

I always thought it would be good to make gold bullets, with the increased specific gravity, you would have much heavier bullets, think of the BC of bullets with 24 carat gold for cores. Imagine if a bullet the size of a 180 gr 30 cal weighed about 300 gr, of course cost would be a factor, but you would get to be a very good shot.
Oregon Trail Laser Cast Silver Bullets:
Oregon Trail's® endless R&D and fanatical quality control might be enough to put
us at the top, but there's much more to the story: exclusive access to expensive
precious metals allowed our engineers to develop the exclusive Laser-Cast®
Silver Bearing Alloy and the specialized production equipment to exploit it. No one
else has it, and no other bullet available today can match Laser-Cast's®
revolutionary performance. The inclusion of silver in conjunction with our proprietary
blend of 7 other virgin elements produces an unbeatable bullet of unprecedented
toughness, consistency and precision.

I wonder how much muzzle velocity and trajectory would vary between space and an atmosphere?
If you want a "silver bullet" try melting one from silver solder, or non-toxic solder from the hardware store: Both are alloys, much cheaper than melting down 99% pure, or your pre '67 80% silver dimes.
A friend suggested I get into bullet casting specifically for silver bullets. We've made zombie apocolypse plans but are woefully unprepared for werewolves!
The next trick is anti-vampire bullets. My idea was to remove the polymer tip from a V-Max and replace it with an oak tip. Just need someone good at whittling now.

When GUN WORLD magazine was in its early years, Dangerous Dan Cotterman would do just about anything.
They did an article on "Guns of The Shadow", featuring FOUR 1911 Colts fitted with 30-round magazines, did the testing in costume, of course.
Another test they did was "Guns of The Lone Ranger", doing it as a serious article. They cast .900-fine US coin into bullets, wrecking a mould while they were at it, then went to the range to try out the ammo.... in costume, of course. They got away with it, too; if they were in Canada they would have been arrested and hauled off to the nearest asylum! Upshot of the whole thing was that the silver bullets were not very accurate, they ATE bullet-moulds and they were rough on barrels.
IIRC, that would have been late in their first year of publication.
Hope this helps.
