CaldwellLead Sled Weight Bag with Durable Construction and Water Resistance for Outdoor, Range, Shooting and Hunting

I purchased a "Lead-Sled" and these work perfectly (though you only need two of them if your stack'n 25 lb. shot. If you are new to shooting, trust the brand. If you are an older shooter, you already do.

I've had a couple 25lb canvas bags of lead shot for about 20 years and I'd use them at the range every year with my old Lead Sled when I'd sight in my scopes for hunting season. The canvas was getting a little threadbare, though, and I did NOT want to clean up the mess when the canvas broke! When these bags arrived I was a little disappointed as they just didn't look large enough. To my great surprise, though, I tried dropping an old bag into the new one and it went in like a pillow into a tight pillow case! They both fit perfectly and now I don't have to worry about picking up lead shot from everywhere! I love the carry handles and the secure closures. Rock solid, great product!

work very well

I used sand with mine. Mistake. I should have used sand in a zip lock bag as the sand does leak out around the zipper. Or just use pellets of some type.But I had sand and zip lock bags, so I emptied them and pushed the ziplock into the cavity before filling with sand.

I've heard about zipper problems but have not experienced them. The lining of these bags is rubbery so if they were filled with sand, lead, steel shot, or anything else, you would not be getting any dust leaking out of them. This would be a health problem with lead, so that would be a consideration for me. I'm using steel shot pellets.

Works great !!!

Very useful tools.
