Californium is a very dense element. It is also radio-active. But ISTM that given equal propulsion, it would be moving slower, so the momentum would not change much.
In fact, if we assume that the 'collision' between the exploding propellant and the bullet is an elastic one, the momentum would be exactly the same! I am no gun expert but I would think that this is approximately true.
