Diving equipment retailers. They sell all kinds of diving weights made of
lead. The last time I was looking, the kind that had "lead shot" in them
were going for about a buck a pound.

Reed's Sport Shop sells reloading supplies. Reed's
is on the east side of San Jose.
Mel Cotton's may also carry lead shot. They are little west of
downtown S.J.
Good luck,
