Given the current Spot Market price of Silver (Ag) of $34.30 per Troy Ounce, 115 Grain 9mm rounds would cost $8 each, plus the cost of casing, propellant and primer.
A 168 Grain .308 round would cost $11.70 (plus casing, propellant and primer).
In addition, the melting point of silver 960+C is about three times that of lead (Pb) which would add even more cost and complexity to the bullet forming process.
Perhaps the best reason for the lack of silver bullets is the lack of silver cleaning solvents to clean barrels after extended use of Ag rounds.
Now you know.
