Anything is possible but is it worth it? What are you looking to accomplish with these bullets? Would it be worth turning the tungsten to an exact shape and possibly having a custom bullet mould made to house the rod properly?
Casting copper takes a whole new level of heat and moulds and tools and supplies.
Usually copper bullets are turned from rod stock.
Cast lead performs under a wider range of applications than a turned copper bullet would. With the exception of the crazy high priced fancy engineered bullets that are made on some serious equipment.
