Take an empty 12 gram CO2 capsule and saw it in half.
Put some lead in the nose, hold it in a pair of pliers and heat it up in a burner until it melts, then let it cool down and solidify.
Wrap some masking tape around the end or slip on the plastic part of a used 12 gauge shotgun cartridge.

Sweet, finally a use for all those empty 12grams and 12 guage shells I can't reload. I'll probably end up using rocks or something instead of lead though, since I don't like getting cancer.

you could always use some
solder instead.

Lead isn't a carcinogen - it's just poisonous!

There's always the possibility of <a href="

Or just concrete.
Anyways, it looks very stable, and so should be fairly accurate.
