My first thought was to fill it with rice but i'm going to be storing it in my shed and that could attract rodents and moisture quite easily, my 2nd thought was sand but that would probably leak out of the stitches. What have you guys used and what are your experiences?
Thanks.

Those ones in my post are all home made, Jean legs make good shooting bags as does calico and any material really, it doesn't have to be special, just need to be able to hold media of some sort and be durable.

I should go buy another bag of the stuff i used & sell it off in lots like that...thats between 600% to 1000% profit, based on the incredibly high price i paid for a 20kg bag, less the cost of the zip lock bag id have to buy for individual portions...WOW...!!
Does anyone know how hard it is to set up as an ebay seller...?

You are not wrong!
I didn't notice the price before posting that link and I didn't buy from them...….I bought from the below linked seller at 1/2 the price for the same stuff.....same as Bladeracer posted……. though it was only $6 for 500gms last year when I purchased......

I could still sell the stuff i payed an exorbitant price for & still make 600%--thats six times what i payed for it...less the cost of the zip lock bag...
So if i halved that price you paid id still make a killing...& i could get it a lot cheaper...
I thought about selling it years ago long before i even suggested it on here but figured no one would buy it...stoopid me...!!!

Check out any metalworking place that does sandblasting and I'm sure they would help you out with enough to fill a sandbag for not too much coin. Regards Malcolm.
