    While it will be good to have specialized wheels (will be costly
    too) for making bullets the job can be done using  flat diamond laps
    that are freely available. 

    I do volumes of it all the time at my two lapidaries, located in Sri
    Lanka, employing cabbing machines using flat diamond laps.  In fact
    by using flat laps on a cabbing machine quite a lot of shapes can be
    done. 

Hope this helps.
