Make your own molds and pour your own...
Take a piece of 4/4 (1") Maple stock 2" x 6".
Cut it in half so that you have two 2" x 3" pieces.
Clamp them together so that you have a 2x3 x 8/4 (2") block
using a drill press (or being very careful with a hand drill to drill straight down) Drill a hole exactly between the two pieces about 3"-4" deep using a drill bit to match the dia of the slug that you want so that when you unclamp the wood, you have 1/2 the hole in each half of the wooden mold.
Clamp them back together and pour your slug(s).
This can work for making tail weights too - I Do the same as above but I start with a 1/8" bit (to match my thru-hole dia) and then counter sink the hole to the desired slug dia. I then replace the 1/8" bit with a 1/8" metal rod and pour the lead in. Then just grab the 1/8" rod with the drill chuck and spin it out and then open the mold. - Perfect, concentric tail weights!
