I occasionally use lead shot for weighting cars, especially when trying to get lead into some tiny crack or crevice under a car. But the drawback is that all the open space between the individual pellets results in a decrease in the overall density and weight of the installation. Better off using solid lead where you need maximum weight in minimum space. On that note, I would assume that smaller shot like #8 clay pigeon shot would pack more densely than something larger like #2 goose shot.
