Thanks, Ed
Using rec tubing .083 thick, 2"x2"x1 foot long weighs 13lbs, 2"x3"x1 weighs 19lbs and 2"x4"x1 weighs 25lbs. this is lead shot, not melted.

Art, lead is the best bet for more weight in a smaller package. The price of lead has gone sky high, (can you say reloading ammo ain't cheap) shotgun shot is handy as well as pretty clean. The best bet for lead weight is to find old wheel weights at a tire store and melt them down. They may be hauling them to the recycler too. If you melt the lead do it outdoors, remember the fumes are not human friendly. The best bang for the buck (if size is not a problem) is weight plates from a sporting good store, or better yet a second hand sporting good store. Hope this helps, Don Jackson
