Sand - what type for filling rest bags

[Steve]

Sand is too heavy so i nicked a load of my chickens food...corn.

Its dense enough to make a firm rest for a rifle and if the shooting is lousy you can make popcorn with a saucepan and heat so the day may not all lost.

Thanks everyone :shakeshout:

Thanks everyone :shakeshout:

Poly pellets make great fillings, too. They are totally resistant to water as well, which sand, cat litter, corn etc etc isn't!

Those look interesting, but how are they on weight, what would a front or back back weight filled with Poly-pellets?

Google gives about 335g per pint! about half the density of building sand.

Sand is too heavy

Yes, I found that out the hard way. There's enough kit to carry to the range already.

Sounds like a plan, thanks guys.

Hmmm...spookilly ideal for providing a firm, recoil resistant rut for a rifle but to slide in while producing a stable platform

+1 for Chromite (Cheers Tim).

It is B heavy though.....

To put this one to bed - I filled my bags with Poly Pellets and I'm very pleased with the way they've worked out, but it took between 5 and 6 kilos to fill both of the bags.

WOW, now even sand is getting technical - any day now someone on here will be selling Tactical Sand! :lol:
