I know lead is standard, but what I haven't been able to find anywhere online is whether it would have been possible to either make one's own bullets, or have them made, of a different material? Specifically iron (which would be very difficult to make oneself, but if you knew a friendly blacksmith or paid him enough...?)
Would an iron bullet work in a flintlock, does anyone know? I imagine it would, but like I said, most sites etc. about flintlocks focus on the gun and the lock themselves, with barely mention of the bullets/balls.
