wymberley Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Because it's free I use wheat or barley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlengthorn Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 I use cat litter, it's not too heavy and won't rot or germinate if it gets wet like grains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strimmer_13 Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 I'm using rice atm as I wanted a bit of weight but will be swapping to cat litter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 I was advised to use rice too. Do I need to fry it or boil it though ? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impala59 Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Don't do much benchrest,but mine are filled with sand (showing my age I guess!) I also use them for a secure rest when working on my guns (too mean to buy a workshop support system) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
