Using a small torch, or a big one if you like...melt the lead until it flows into the mould, like a crunchy frog sprinkled with larks vomit:

 A little bit of burnishing with bastard file that won't bite your legs off, and "viola" ! you have a nice custom nose weight that won't rattle around like a bunch of bb's. Or DD's if you prefer...:)
