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 -

Lead shot isn't used generally in fishing but non-toxic shot is. Smaller
size shot (dust shot) can, I believe, still be lead.

No. 8 shot (the higher the number the smaller the shot) is about 2.3mm
in diameter (3.32"=2.38mm) and should be readily available from a decent
tackle shop or on-line.

PS. I haven't been fishing for years.
