What about plaster of paris? It's not going to spill out and it's going to seal off the bottom by itself. You can get that in any craft store and you just mix with water, in some old plastic bowl.
You could trim to fit a piece of felt and glue that onto the bottom after the plaster has set.

All buckshot I can think of at the moment is lead. Steel shot is used for waterfowl hunting because lead is illegal for that use. They don't want all that lead shot falling back in the water and causing lead contamination. There would be no reason to make steel buckshot, and it would be pretty ineffective. Steel is much less dense than lead. So a steel 00 pellet would weigh much less than a lead 00 pellet. So it would carry a lot less energy to a target. Buckshot is used for just that, Bucks. Well large game like deer, bear, and for self defense. In uses like that you need that extra energy. Lead shot is used for everything, except where lead shot is illegal, which is waterfowl hunting. Steel shot really isn't very popular anymore. Waterfowl shot just can't be lead. It doesn't have to be steel. They've come out with other stuff, like bismuth, that is a lot more dense than steel, but still not as dense as lead.

If you use lead and a child starts chewing on your figurine or whatever, they could (unlikely, but possible) chew through to the lead..... instant lawsuit.
Better to use pieces of iron or steel embedded in the base instead - just remember to file any sharp edges and corners off. Flat steel bars would probably be the cheapest option - they are available from most hardware stores.
Good luck

Have you tried drilling a hole in the base of them and filling it with molten lead? This may melt the resin I'm not sure but lead melts ut such low temperatures you can do it on the gas ring (outside is best though as its poisonous).

You'd be better off using silica sand. It's not as heavy but it won't be nearly as toxic as the lead shot.
