Steel shot

Hi, Is steel shot magnetic? Are there any implications of putting magnetic material inside the speaker cabinet (Von Schweikert VR-4 JR), practically next to the driver magnet? The same question goes for Micro bearing sold specifically for that purpose. I'm little leary about using uncoated lead shot. Regards.

Every bag of reloading lead shot I've ever seen contains coated lead. You need not fear it.

Did you remove any of the fill material before adding the lead shot? I could only get about 30#s into each speaker. It really helped tighten things up, but I am wondering if I should have removed some of the fill material to make more room?

Maniac, Where did you put the lead shot in?..It looks like you put the shot in the hole in the front of the speaker, from your post!!...I hope that wasn't the case, and I misunderstood what you meant.
