Anyhow, I'll repeat my original comment, use aquarium gravel, you can buy it in different sizes, even rice size. It's heavy and rodent proof and if you buy it from a landscape supplier, it's cheap , I pay around $14 for a potato sack full. Cheers



Haven't been to Thorpdale yet, about 25km from me.
I will look into the aquarium gravel but I don't want anything heavy.
Rimfire brass is only about 900gms per litre.

That sort of thing is my ideal - but I don't really want to spend $60 on filling material.

Nope, just common Caldwell Deadshot Shooting Bags.

Do you mean one 2kg bag of this stuff filled your bags?
The front bag is roughly six-litres and the rear is around one-litre volume.

Take the Magnospeed off, get rid of the front and rear swivel mounts, get a sturdy bench and you will half the group size.... :-)

I'd like to fill mine with the ashes of dead project managers but even in death they're useless so it's sand in mine.
