Where can one purchase lead shot for speakers?

Hi,

I'm putting together a new system and just purchased a pair of Von Schweikert VR4jrs. They will arrive in about a week so I am trying to prepare everything for their arrival. This is the first pair of speakers that I will own that take lead shot to improve their bass. I have no idea where to even start looking for a place to purchase the shot. Can anybody tell me where I might find some? I live on the Big Island of Hawaii and I'm really hoping to be able to buy it locally as opposed to having it shipped in since it would be very costly to do so.

Thanks,

Bill

Check you local sporting goods store. They will sell it for those who re-load shotgun shells. It usually comes in 20# bags. Have fun as the vacuum cleaner doesn't do well picking up dense little balls. Another though is look at box's of BB's for BB guns that might be cheaper and is larger to deal with.

Bill, Please do not use lead. Every couple of months a new thread gets started on lead fill and people still are not getting the message----no lead.

There is already a current thread on fill for speakers and stands. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1243725688&read&h12&zzlFace&&#rest

Please use sand. That should not be too hard to find in Hawaii. Of course it will have to be cleaned and dried and pick out the seaweed.
