Silver tips?

Does anyone know if Winchester Silver tip bullets can be purchased as components and if so where?

I have a friend who needs some for a Boy Scouts project. His troop, which he has been associated with since he was a member as a child, has as thier motto "bite the bullet" and the give each kid an inert cartriage attached to a leather lanyard. They are making silver bullets, as an thank you, to give out to some of the adults that have been helping out over many years.

It was my idea to use the silvertips. I am going to use the old bullet puller to remove the bullet and drop it into a nickle cases.

Does anyone else have any other ideas for making silver bullets?

Thanks for the link. That is perfect, but way more than they are wanting to spend. They are looking at presenting at least 20 and that would get very pricey very quick.

Ignore the previous comment. I did a little looking (imagine that) on the sight and see that they offer silver plated for much cheaper. I'll present this option tomorrow.

I still welcome other solutions.
