Yes, it is possible and fairly strait forward to make a silicone rubber mold into which you can pour lead. Your production time will be slower than with a metal mold but you can make very exact reproductions. The set up material cost will not be dirt cheap as the mold making products and release agents cost a bit but I suspect you can get it done for something in the $50-75 range. A similar process is used for making rubber tails. I recall Mike at M&D's sold stuff to do the rubber tails at one point.
