    OK,

    maybe I should explain a little more ...

    I've gotten myself a Protektor rear Bag, like this one LINK

    It's for shooting long range ... FTR ... and I'm looking for heavy sand in Ireland instead of ordering it in from the UK and spending a fortune on shipping...

    Note:

    Heavy sand is the generic name for mineral sands that possess a high specific gravity. There are a variety of types on earth. However, the two types normally used to fill sand bags are zircon, which is zirconium silicate, and chromite, which is iron chromium oxide. Both are mined throughout the world and used in a variety of industrial applications, including the manufacture of fire-resistant materials (zircon) and production of stainless steel (chromite). The term heavy sand comes from the fact that these materials are almost twice as heavy as the play sand.

    Now you tell us uneducated plebs what you want.

    I find if I put some hardcore, cement and water through the sand it gets heavy enough in about 4 hours. :p:p:p:p
