Krell1- For disposal I would look to a metal recycler, otherwise you are talking hazardous waste! One of the reasons to use steel or a substitute. Since the lead shot is 100% lead and the action levels are in the parts/billion range, you can see that even a v small amount of dust generated from pouring/handling can contaminate a large area, and one pellet ingested by a child or animal can cause acute poisoning.
I filled the hollow parts of my turntable table with vermiculite on the recommendation of the dealer. The table is completely dead sounding when tapped. It's readily available as a gardening supply
Lead shot was banned years ago for waterfowl hunting because it was being ingested by birds in the marshes. It's still allowed for upland hunting.
Because of the ban other non-toxic shot were introduced, the primary one being steel but there are others. If you want shot for your speaker stands seek out these other non-toxic materials. Any shotgun reloading supplier should have them. Because of weight and cost of shipping I would try to find a local source.
They come in different sizes, the higher the number the smaller (9, 8, 7 1/2, 6 etc.).
You should only use lead if you're into heavy metal 8^).
All this lead-talk conjurs memories of fishing during my childhood days when lead sinkers were on every tray in the tackle box, and all over my vest. No wonder i'm hooked to high fidelity rendering audio gear.
