Silver Bullets

[blueskies]

I want to make an emergency case for vampires, zombies and werewolves.

I would like to include some ammunition with silver bullets. Can anyone load some ammunition in 9mm with real silver bullets?

 

[captainmike]

nice set up
I don't have 9mm mold but I do have some silver and the tools to melt some silver
a hollow point mold would be nice

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but.... vampires are not real. Regular ammunition should do fine in any sthf scenario lol.

Try some Winchester Silver Tips. Not really silver, but should look the part.

Just get some silver nail polish or paint that would do it nicely..

Or silver coloured powder coating.

You can buy pure silver machined to look like a 45 ACP. I have some in my stash and they are pretty cool.

Unless you want to be 'authentic' .....grin.....good call on the Silvertips!

As for Zombies....gotta go with the Hornady stuff.

The Lone Ranger was actually a werewolf hunter.

That's exactly what a vampire would say....

It would be fun to cast silver bullets, but the melting point of silver is over 900 degrees celcius. About 3 X. The melting point of lead. Biiig difference!

961.8C to be precise but you can use some sterling aka 925/1000 with 893 Celcius melting point (1640 f) no problem with a 2000F furnace

dthunter is right ,,,,,,,,,,, your standard lead pot will not melt silver. I know for sure because I tried to do it once to make 1 Lone ranger Bullet
just for fun . No luck melting that silver.

That's right, you would require a crucible, flux, propane/acetylene torch and a mold to cast into. You could get away with using primitive techniques such as sand, soapstone or cuttlefish bone casting but it's a lot of work for a bullet that will not really function. This is why I suggested silver paint. You could even technically inlay silver into a normal bullet in various ways. One other option is PMC (Precious Metal Clay). PMC can be kiln of torch fired and shrinks a bit in the process. You may need to burnish it afterwards due to it's porosity. Heck, even colloidal silver could be used. Get creative...
