Figured I would start a thread so people can talk about Bags and Fill options. I got to play with some spexlite at a match recently and am thinking about ordering some of this stuff. I have 25lbs of bags in my kit, and would like to take some of the weight out of my pack. All the bags have had some fill removed so they are more shootable. I used to run glass bags but they have gotten so heavy and end up tearing up the bags. I usualy only get about a year out of a gamechanger before the seams blow out and I just replace them. I am thinking a lighter fill will be less wear and tear on the bags and as long as its still shootable, could be a move in the right direction.
AG Plus one with Sand - 13lbs
AG Smediums with Sand - 8.5lbs
AG Smedium with Poly Beads - 4.5lbs
AG Pint sized with Sand - 7.3 lbs
MDT Peanut with Sand/Glass - 8.3lbs
Cole Tac Plate Bag with Grey Ops Pro Plate Filled with Glass Beads - 4.7LBS
The heaviest spexlite beads 5235 would be about 5.5-6Lbs in a Plus one, so about half what the heavy sand is. https://www.boxtobenchprecision.com/store/spex-lite-5235
There is also the Olympic mix which is 5325 and 5125. https://www.boxtobenchprecision.com/store/spexlite-x-ginny-thrasher-olympian-shooting-bag-fill
What do you guys who shoot PRS run? I know its tough to beat heavy sand but there may be some new options that get some of the unnecessary weight out of our kits. It would also make flying with them much easier.
