I got my stock ready. Was thinking I would go to the hardware store and get some lead free solder to pour it with. Something like sta brite. Would that be ok? It's got like a 430f melt temp

Good idea! A friend suggest that two years ago. Not period correct and it has more shine than pewter, but works for me.

The solder was a low temp, lead free.

Common plumbers solder is lead free.
I don't think the brand makes a difference. Plumbers solder has been lead free for years, so almost any brand you see in a store should be lead free. I think most if not all will list the contents on the package as well. It's mostly tin.
