Looks like an oversized steel mold and some plaster would do the trick.

OR do it the easy way and cast small solid sections and turn them on a
lathe. Would likely result in a better round and truer weight and size.
I have turned solid copper bullets and once you have a pattern to grind
a tool from it works well. I used a plane blade and ground it to the
profile needed, then rough turned and finished with the custom blade.


Yep. I'm gonna' turn them!
