Overhang, There simply is no substitute for lead. Learn how to use it, store it, dispose of it. Simple. It is about two bucks a pound at any gun shop that sells reloading equip.
This is not going to be real helpful, but I recall someone sells a product specifically to fill stands. Unfortunately I can't remember who it is or what it was. Big help, huh?
Sorry . . . if I come up with it, I'll post. Maybe you could check forums here or other places.
I don't know if this is the one I was thinking about, but it is an example:

When I built my horn cabinets I used playground sand from Home Depot because it is a lot cheaper and readily available. 250 lbs in each cabinet. Figure up what that would cost using lead.

I would suspect the more logical and less emotional reason AA stopped carrying lead shot is because the shipping, especially just a few months ago, was outrageous. I doubt they sold enough to justify keeping the inventory. Personally, I'd be more worried about those mercury vapor light bulbs folks are putting in their homes. Breaking one of those creates a toxic hazard cleanup. You can't even through them away, well not legally anyway.
Actually, the federal government imposed a max the Post Office could charge for shipping lead. I believe it is 8.00 per 50#. If I were filling big cabinets I would/do use free used wheel weights. Most places are happy to get rid of it rather than paying for it's disposal. Lead, having such high mass, takes a fraction of the space.
