WANTED Heavy Sand

[Po' Man's Precision]

I am in need of some heavy sand, not much maybe around 5 lbs just enough to finish filling a shooting bag. Thanks and God bless!

Just figured I would throw it out there but, is it possible that sand blasting grit would work for you? It is much heavier than regular sand but, I don't think it is quite as heavy as heavy sand. Just a suggestion.

This is where I got my zircon sand, they have just about all there is.
They have a display with Close to 100 jars of different sands.

It might but I only need a small amount and figured someone might have some laying around. Thanks

I use number 7 lead shot in my bags mixed with some sand . Very heavy and compacts like sand.

Do you have a Harbor Freight near you? I believe they sell a black blasting sand.
May be the easiest for you to source.

I was going to offer the same but, it is likely shipping would cost more than going to Tractor Supply and buying some.

Tractor Supply or ACE would have some.

I’ve got some leftover here in Henderson, NV. I could probably shove it in a small usps flat rate box - you cover shipping and it’s yours. Brian

Thanks all I'll go looking at harbor freight and/or tractor supply tomorrow.

Just FYI, my TS has it for about $14 a bag. You will have enough for yourself and friends . I buy the more coarse media because it doesn't seap out of thread holes and such.

This works also
A 50lb bag of zircon sand is just about 1/4 bigger than a bag of flour.
That stuff is heavy!

Try Amazon for garnet sand, almost as heavy as zircon and quite a bit cheaper. Free shipping if you have Prime.

I'm gonna go searching tomorrow. I shoot 6 BR Ackley also and absolutely love it. Easy button as far as reloading

I think i found a friend with some excess lead shot and I'm gonna mix it and some media. It's at 16 lbs right now but I'm shooting for 20 lbs

I looked and found a pound of heavy sand, probably won't be enough to do you any good, but it is yours if you need it.

A company I once worked for many years ago owned one of, or maybe the only US based, plant that grinds volcanic rock down to fine grit (Heavy Sand). That plant was located in SC somewhere about an hour or more from Anderson, SC. While working projects in Greenville we got a call to help the plant out with some environmental process control issues. While I was visiting we walked by a 20 ft high pile of Heavy Sand! I'm sure the plant manager would have allowed me to haul off a truck load. Interesting enough, the stones were shipped from the beaches of France. Wish I could just remember the name of the plant...

I very much appreciate your offer but I say it wouldn't be beneficial to either of us with shipping and what not. I appreciate it and God bless!
