I've always wanted to make some and with my jewellery casting equipment it doesn't seem to hard. .999 silver is softer and heavier than copper and harder than lead so they should bite rifling just fine. Thinking about lathing a slightly oversized brass .40 hollowpoint and casting it in some silicone molding compound and then filling the molds with casting wax. Then casting them a dozen or so at a time in fine silver and I could re-drill the hollow cavity with the same small center drill that I used for the brass model. After the cavity is reamed out a speck of Elmers to hold the center drill in the cavity and it becomes a mandril to chuck in the lathe and finish the final diameter with fine sandpaper to .400" and shape the base. Why you ask? Because I always wanted a nice little display case with real silver bullets. Only downside (aside from silvering my Glock barrel) would be the $12 a round price tag but hey, if ammo prices keep climbing it may not seem so bad.
