This is gonna get spicy, when you turn that key on...   :lmao::banana:

A fuse will an audible alarm...

Is it bad that my first thought was well it's either a 15A fuse or a 20A fuse one of those is wrong 😲

I don't think anything would happen as lead bullet doesn't complete the circuit. But I'm no sparky.🤔

I just tested some bullet casting lead for conductivity just to be  sure as we shouldn't assume and it passed.

Seeing that lead is metal I would think it would conduct electricity at least somewhat.  Not as well as gold or copper but some.

In the world of high voltage all things can be turned into conductors, some are just better than others. 

Silver is the best conductor but it oxidizes unlike gold. The interesting one is while aluminium is a conductor aluminium oxide is an insulator.

Why not, different lead than a battery cable clamp and terminal?

Like Jim stated.  Battery posts are lead.  Most battery clamps are lead.  Lead does very well conducting both amps and volts.  Otherwise, car makers have been stupid as fuk for the last 100+ years.  So have battery companies...

Lead works quite well for conducting electricity.  Well enough to work in all our vehicles, every single day.
