Well first off there is no archeological evidence for them as far as I know. We have plenty of pila points left, but there have been no lead balls found.
I know absence is no proof. I am just suggesting the idea that they may not be lead at all. My pila all weigh around 3lbs which is rather light compared to some I have handled. I just dont see adding another couple of pounds to it with a lead ball.
