Lead is also the best idea because it is plentiful. Tungsten and copperfor example, are both suitable, chemically, to make bullets from, though copper's lower mass does require pretty long bullets... They are also valuable because they have other uses. So does lead, of course, but I can hear it now if lead ammo was banned. "WE CAN'T LET PEOPLE HAVE AMMUNITION, THAT TUNGSTEN IS TOO VALUABLE IN OTHER APPLICATIONS!"
