Lead Shot Substitute for Loading Speaker Cabinets?

I have just about given up trying to find lead shot to fill my Von Schweikert VR 4 Jr speakers with. Two questions. Does anyone know where to purchase 100 pounds of lead shot? Are there acceptable substitutes for lead shot when filling up speaker cabineets? Sand maybe?

Thanks in advance.

if they sound good to you,don't load with anything. try changing placement and if they don't sound good to you, 'filling' will not cause a revelation....only a heavier speaker that you don't like anyway.

vary the placement a bit..perhaps a bit closer to the rear walls....sometimes inches will matter.
