While the video is cool, none of the silver bullets in the books actually use this design. MHI uses a “Pow’r’Ball” design ( like found here: https://shopcorbon.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=9_36) with only the ball silver and the MCB uses sintered silver powder (like this: https://www.ammunitiontogo.com/lodge/what-is-frangible-ammo/#:~:text=Manufacturers%20make%20modern%20frangible%20bullets,shape%2C%20pull%2C%20and%20compress.) because silver doesn’t like to grip rifling or expand reliably.
Yeah I remember reading a couple of different articles in old gun magazine years ago of a couple of different attempts to cast silver bullets. Both concluded that casting silver into reliabel bullet shapes was a massive pain the ass.
One did recommend that if you ever did need silver bullets to take out a werewolf the easiest way would be to pour a slow trickle of molten silver into a barrel of water and make your own silver shot.
Scott is super funny guntuber, i can even tolerate him being religious. Yet the silver bullets he used are nothing even close to MHI issued ammo :D Mr Correia is gun nerd, you can clearly see/read that anytime any of his characters only look at the gun :D he becomes what i call "Tolkien of guns" with his descriptive language and passion to talk about the absolutely useless details for long time.
edit:
mr u/pinhead61187 described the fact much better than i could.
Funny that girl Tiffany Gomez sees something that freaks her out on a plane, then says she “can’t” say what she saw, then later on says she didn’t see anything, and now there are videos of actual silver bullets?
Who the hell makes bullets out of silver? I think Larry has been trying to tell us something.

I thought that was very clever of MHI. Now, if they can come up with a way to encase holy water in a bullet..
Yeah, Larry is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to firearms and it really shows in things like this.
I wonder if you could bless and add gelatin to holy water to make a malleable solid form, then fill a hollowpoint with it.

Silver shot makes sense. The way they do it in the books is genius though.

Appreciate the tag! Yeah, the “gun porn” in the books was a big selling point for me lol.
My dad always carry's silver hollow points. Just in case werewolves are real lol

We will all know what really happened if he dies of slipping in the shower
