Problem was the lead slugs would fly out occassionally and your wood had to be planed to perfection to get the same depth of hole in order to have the consistent weight throughout the plug batch. On the lead fying out I also drilled and sent a thread tap in hole to groove threads for the lead to grab. It worked but I think the effort wasn't worth savings.

What a great idea.
