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.

The dust from silica sand is toxic (this is not new news).

This said, I've used and preferred it in speakers (over lead shot and shot/sand mixtures).

Used a damp paper breathing mask when working with it and performed the work outdoors.
