I spent the weekend working with my son on his Pinewood Derby car for Cub Scouts. We needed to get his car up to weight, so a couple of 81gr .357 Pellets were the perfect solution.
I turned the wheels down using a drill and my pocket knife so that there's just a small strip of plastic for less rolling resistance.
I started with some slugs from airgunsandammo.com but they were too heavy.
The JSB pellets ended up being just about perfect.
Paint was baked on in the toaster oven:
Almost 5oz on the dot
The finished product:
