I use mini muffin tins. Vary the pour to give me different weights. Weigh & mark. Use as needed.

My avatar is almost a dead ringer for my little buddy Chico. Six pounds of mean that thought he was a Pit Bull. Miss that little guy.
I use duck decoy strap weight molds. They are easy to store and I just use tin snips to cut pieces into a scale to add to my alloy.
I still have a box or two of those I bought from you several years ago. I wish I could find a mold like that. I refuse to use bullet molds or sinker molds because there is always the chance of an OOPS! Then you just shot a very expensive group of bullets or launched some real expensive sinkers. I want something small and unique.
Perhaps you could cast your pewter bullets in a mold of the correct weight and then smash each one with a heavy hammer. Or cast with the sprue plate open and have a horribly rounded base. That would prevent their use in reloading.
