.
possible - or even a steel rod - but i would rather not drill deeper after repairing the crack

i may have found one source that sells the tungsten alloy in one inch rods-
the hole is two inches deep (5/8th in diameter) - two 1/2 inch diameter one inch long rods will be a little over four ounces - the lead was 3.5

not sure i am touch sensitive enough to notice an extra half ounce in a ten and a half pound gun
