The best deal around is a $40 membership in the PGCA.

ABE Books has this book. I just bought a hard cover for $22 including shipping. They have some reasonably priced and some that would be collector copies for $200-$400.

Doing a little bit more reading I seen this Bismuth alloy recommended
https://www.rotometals.com/lead-free...bismuth-based/
87.25% Bismuth, 0.75% Antimony and 12% Tin
While slightly less dense than lead it will still be more dense than steel plus it can be powder coated which some guys like doing on large shot sizes and buckshot.
