Lead shot

Does anyone know of a supply of lead shot no more than, say, 3/32"
diameter pse?
Sounds a little odd, but I want to fill old "sparklets" type bulbs
with lead to make weights for driving clocks.
A fishing tackle shop was suggested, but when I called at one I was
told that lead is banned for angling, and their only "shot" was much
too big to fit into the hole in the bulb.
Solder would be a possibility, but a large proportion of it would be
tin.
TIA -
A sear for "lead shot" on Ebay produces a few results that may be worth
a look at, not sure about the size though. Another idea, prompted by
Ebay is a diving shop, apparently it is used for ballast, although
again, size maybe an issue.
