Suggestions for Homemade Sand Bags Needed

[35isit]

Didn't read all the replies. Did anyone suggest spent primers? Shotgun primers work well. Don't have any. but a buddy does and I've used them.

I use Silica Cat Litter Crystals in the legs of old canvas trousers or camo printed canvas. It's a desiccant and keeps guns rust free in the safe. Just throw them into the oven at the WARM setting for a few hours to dry them out. Heavy but overly so, no powder to leak out and holds it's shape well.

Thanks for this suggestion. I've got a big bucket of the stuff. Found it on sale a few years ago. I should be able to get a couple of "sandbags" out of what is left from using it as a desiccant. I've got several quart cans of regular desiccant, the kind that turns pink when it is time to rejuvenate it so this would be a good use for the cat litter.

I use cut-off jeans for my sandbags and fill them with used tumbling media.
