In my opinion, lead shot is the best. If you got to any gun shop that sells
reloading equipment, you can buy shot in 10 and 25 lb. bags. The bags are
heavy duty canvas and very conformable. I'd put 50 lb. in the anchor well.
If you don't like lead, they can also get you bismuth shot which is equally
dense.
