METAL MAGERY Lead Shot Balls #7.5 2lb Bag of 7 1/2 Lead Shot BBS for Reloading and Adding Weight, Graphite

I'm a wood worker and find myself needing to weigh down tall art objects, lamps, etc. I used to melt fishing weights until I found these very handy little balls of heaviness. I'll bore a few large diameter holes in the base of my creation, fill with lead balls, then secure them in place with epoxy. Fun fact: lead is an anagram for deal, and these babies are definitely a very good deal.

I was looking for 1/2 in or 50 cal lead balls for no reason at all and this most definitely wasn't that but they're still some quality tiny lead balls. If you get yourself a slingshot with a big pouch I'm sure you'll find these pretty awesome but other than that it's a bit taxed for lead. Either way I'm not gonna leave a negative review cuz it's my fault, and if you're wondering I'm guessing they're 1 millimeter diameter lead balls

Use for filing my realborn babies. Works nicely. Right size.

Using this for nose weight to establish proper center of gravity in my High Powered model rockets. Perfect but it's a little pricey for just lead shot.

Worked well.

I was looking for these for off-label use. I am making pattern weights and needed both weight and a little bit of bulk. Rice is ridiculously too light but cost effective and BBs are expensive but generally the right weight and bulk. I bought these, thinking they were the size of average BBs. They are HEAVY, exactly as expected, but as you can see from the photos, very very dense. I may keep them because they are technically as heavy as advertised, but I will have to mix them with another filler to get the bulk that I need to make a useful pattern weight.

I picked up the Metal Magery Lead Shot Balls primarily to use as ballast in my scale RC boat. It worked perfectly. I didn't need the entire 7 pounds. In fact only 2 pounds was necessary. I pored the desired amount into a couple small zip lock bags which allows me to position the weight where it's needed to not only get the correct waterline depth but also adjust center of gravity. I have enough left over for more RC boat projects - awesome!

To expensive for what you get.
