As Gaz says, i filled mine with recycled granulated plastic (its what they throw in the hoppers for injection moulding).
Mine is heavy enough for shooting off of without moving, but light enough to use out in the car.
Mine gets thrown over the bonnet & i take 50% of my bunnies & 90% of my foxes with it....
If you fill it with sand you will only use it at the range, & then eventually will probably resort back to a bipod because of the horrendous weight.
Go recycled granulated plasitc...the added bonus is if it gets wet, it dries out & doesnt go mouldy...

Where did you find your Zircon sand in Australia?

I see that you're in Qld. There's a reason for using sand, or some other inert material. Which is why the Zircon sand is preferred, because of its higher density. Heavier for the same volume.
But, you do know what moisture (humidity) and split peas, or rice or other pulses do when you cook them. Don't you?
There's usually a bit of expansion involved, and they're inclined to be a bit squishy. Best you make sure that they remain very dry.
