yes and no to make the bullet itself they use lead because it has a low melting point,it has some weight to it so when the bullet is fired the wind doesn't affect its accuracy and because lead is easy to mold and cool down. they use the copper as a coating to make fullmetal jacket rounds (fullmetal jacket is when the entire bullet is coated with copper even the bottom of it)
