The vast majority of pistol bullets are made from 'bullet metal' which is an alloy of lead/tin and maybe Antimony - The ratio's of these are down to each manufactures choice. (Also by chemical analysis - the manufacturer can be determined)
Some pistol bullets have a copper jacket surrounding the core of lead alloy.
Rifle bullets can be as above or as there is a move from lead, as it is a hazardous substance, some bullets are now solid copper.
Military bullets, can have a varity of core substances; steal is used for armoured pircing rounds (The more correct term for a bullet), wooden bullets was even tried during the second world war.
So a simple answer would really be turned around by saying "What would you like to make them from?"
