Where does one obtain lead shot to fill stands

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

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

Micro-bearing conductive steel fill material

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

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...

A product called "Soundbytes" is supposed to be good. I use unscented kitty litter, which you can find at your local supermarket, cheap. Works fine. Oh, and it was recommended to me by a friendly high end retailer, not one of those "wire is wire" "naysayers" everyone around here likes to dismiss.

Shooting ranges usually have lead shot in their stores.

Try a local gun or specialty sporting goods supply.
Hunters use shot to pack their own shotgun shells.
