This is not correct. It’s common for modern ammunition to be jacketed with copper or some other metal, but the core is still lead (or lead-tin alloy) because it’s cheap, dense and soft enough to form into the rifling grooves while traveling down the barrel. Only special-purpose bullets are made with other metals.
They don’t use lead in ammunition any more.
