Good suggestion. Adding dents to the casing worked well. But I'm having a hard
time with the copper. This is what I've come up with so far...

By the way, this bullet is a 5.56 x 45 mm round instead of the 7.62 x 39 mm one.
Ironically, now that the bullet is available for use I found that it didn't
quite fit in the scene I made it for, which was a military-themed Metallica
picture. Oh well, it was fun to make and I'll probably find some other use for
it.
