Mars is going to want market price which right now is over 60
cents/pound plus shipping. Spend bullet lead from the local gun range
is 6 to 8 cents at most. Probably some copper jackets in it but that
would be less trouble than steel tire clips.

Try Mars Metals in canada, I've used lead shot from them for the exact
purpose you describe. I'm not sure of the price, but if you are in the US i'm
sure that the exchange rate would be in your favor! at least will be enough to
offset the cost of shipping.

Check a scrap dealer. I once got some lead cable shielding for a very
low price. I think it had been used to cover cable TV cables but am
not sure. It had a lot of tar on it. You can flatten these and push
them down alongside your lead blocks.
