eldon Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 As an alternative that is water and rot proof. Has anybody tried plastic BBs? as in bb guns. Not sure how much they are as I have never bought any but it seemed like an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonewall Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Go to a pet store and check out what fine gravel they have . I have in the past used Hartz bird gravel in a small carboard box - a fine consistant gravel but it seems that product has changed now . I mix in a little fine white sandblasting sand -20% aproximately before I fill my bags . This mix is quite heavy but very stable to shoot from bags filled with this . I have used a B-Square rest with Protektor bags to shoot Benchrest matches with no problem. Experiment with the fill level-just don't fill the bags with as much sand as they can hold- i.e. rock solid. http://www.hartz.com/Our%20Products/browse...&ActionID=2 Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auquhollie Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I got bored one day and decided to fill my bunny bag with expanding foam (out the tin). Worked a treat if a little to hard. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejg223 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 If you pay the mail from Ireland I could send you some. Otherwise look for a plastic injection moulding company. How much do you need? Big differences in the plastic granules, some are round and slippery and will flow und pressure, others are squarisch and have sharp edges. Flow less. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menial 1 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Anyone got any alternatives to sand for filling bags that are easy to get hold of? I have a couple of rear bags I want to try but I hate using sand as it always escapes out the seams no matter what type i use. Beads that are used by bead /sand blasting companies, waterproof and biologically stable, you won't get treehuggers trying to make meals of your rests either.

Orka Akinse Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Edi happy to pay the postage couple o' pound in weight should do it, let me know how much it costs & I'll get the money to you. Think I like the round slippery granules. Cheers OA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 OA, I looked into postage, I think it's only around 10.50 Euro for a 2kg parcel to the UK. Just pm your addr. and upon receiving you can sort me out. 2kg would give about 4 liter volume. Is that enough? edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orka Akinse Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Think so edi I only want it to fill a brick sized rear bag. What do you think Edi/fellas is a couple o' kilo enough for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OA, in your terms 2kg would be a little less than a UK gallon in volume. Should be plenty. Don't know how big your bricks are. Are those the ones one uses to castrate? edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
