I do it with a torch and a dollar store ladle. I over pour them and trim them on the bandsaw.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Your cheaping out, that is why you're sore and inaccurate.
This is what you need to pure cleanly:

You can do it for nothing...and melt lead with a ladle on a stove but I don't recommend it.

Two schools of thought...either buy what you need completed (ie, 100 packs of tail weights) or get the right stuff to do it yourself.

Tagger,
If the ends of your tail weights are coming out boogery, try cutting the end off with a sharp razor. Drop the tiny pieces back in the pot.
