Where does one obtain lead shot to fill stands

I mix the lead shot with clean, dry sand which can be purchased at Home Depot/Lowes or Toys R Us. Don't use sand that is lying about or has been collected at the beach as the moisture and saline content may be deleterious.

Before you run out and buy a bag full of lead, consider the fact that it can be very hazardous, especially to children.
Also, many jurisdictions would consider it to be a "hazardous waste" if and when you want to dispose of it. From my experience sand works just as well and is essentially harmless. Just a thought...

Micro-bearing conductive steel fill material

Please view above before making final decision. Very interesting alternative to lead and sand

Dave is right. The micro bearings from audiopoints are the way to go. No comparison to lead shot.

How about using BB gun ammunition? Isn't that made of copper?
