Bismuth. There is a learning curve to casting bismuth but it's not hard to do. Use same equipment as you would for casting lead. RotoMetals sells bismuth. BPI sells premade ITX lead free round balls. I have not used ITX balls but others have and say it works well enough.

edit- BPI stands for Ballistic Products Inc.

The ITX balls are pretty much ready to use and are lead free.

ITX worked for me. But I needed a slightly thinner patch. At 50 yards, the ITX cloverleafed right in there with the lead holes.
