I found the answer to my question. It's amazing what you can do with Google. A36 steel does not machine well. Too bad, because it's inexpensive and widely available.

I believe the Ranch Dog TLC359-190-RF has been mentioned in this thread. Has anyone tried it in the Rossi 92? I asked the question in another thread a while back, but no one answered who had tried...

Yesterday I ask my a local tire shop about getting some of their scrap wheel weights. They said that most of their wheel weights now are no-lead weights... something about the influence of California...
