lead - nice shot is about the same density

i think the issue is that the lead was poured in the hole and expands when it cools

so- if the lose shot-with a buffering to keep it form rattling - is not practical -

I may cast a plug out side the gun to a hair under the hole's diameter - then sleeve it in a thin medium density sheet of plastic to accommodate expansion and slide it in - its always a possibility i may need an adjacent small hole for more weight to regain the balance
