thanks guys but i think i should explainbetter. i have a new set of bags already purchased. both the rear bunny ear bag and the bag to go on my front rifle rest. I have other bag sets filled with the things i listed before and they all work but i was trying to see if anyone else had a different idea. the wheat sounds good but its not so easy to get here. and the lead shot is also good but dang that stuff is getting spendy. i had someone in the gun shop today tell me his bags are filled with craft beads the little tiny ones which he says are about the size of 7 1/2 shot but is much lighter and a fair bit cheaper.
