I make my own too. Got a 10 ltr bucket of net weights to get through. Its a pyramid/ball sinker mould.
Got a few hundred made up, but mates always take a few freebies whenever they get a chance
Use a decent pot too. I had one that the bottom melted out of and dropped molten lead all over the gas burner
