I think most bullets have always been made, principally, of lead. Lead is soft, heavy & easy to mould or cast. In the times of Musketry bullets were spherical, rifling improved their ballistic qualities and they became pointed cylindrical in shape. Nowadays they are coated in copper, but lead is still their principal metal.

What were bullets made out of in World War 1?

During World War I, bullets were primarily made of lead, which was favored for its density and malleability. The lead projectiles were often encased in a copper or brass jacket to improve aerodynamics and reduce barrel wear. Some bullets also featured a core made of other materials, such as steel or tungsten, for specific applications. Overall, the combination of lead and metal jackets was standard for military ammunition of the time.
