Sounds about right for a hand-made teddy, tbh. The steel shot is used to
weight down the paws and the bottom so that a teddy will sit up properly
and so that its arms hang by its sides. I think steel shot is more often
used in collectible bears, whereas other teddies would have polythene
"beans" instead due to them costing a lot less.
