Description
Anyone who runs a Lead Sled knows the rest only tames recoil when it's properly weighted, and pouring loose shot or sand into the tray gets messy fast. This standard-size weight bag solves that. It's built to sit right in the shot tray of your Lead Sled, Lead Sled Plus, or Lead Sled DFT, giving you clean, contained ballast that stays put shot after shot.
The bag ships empty so you can load it your way. Fill it with lead shot and you're looking at roughly 25 lbs of hold-down muscle, or top it off with sand for around 7 lbs if you want lighter, more portable weight. Sized at 5.5 inches by 10 inches by 3 inches, it drops into the tray with room to spare, and you can run a second one when you're shooting heavy magnums that really try to buck the rest.
What the Lead Sled Weight Bag Brings to the Bench
Construction is where this bag earns its keep. The green Cordura-style nylon shell is made to take the abuse of range trips, loading, and the weight of a full charge of shot without splitting a seam. A zippered closure keeps everything sealed inside, and the sewn-in handles mean you're carrying it like a small duffel instead of wrestling a sloppy sack of shot across the parking lot.
Filling and Using Your Standard Weight Bag
Lead shot gives you the most weight in the smallest footprint, which is why most folks running big-bore rifles or heavy-recoiling shotguns go that route. Sand is the budget-friendly, easy-to-find option if you just need to steady things down a notch. Either way, the more weight you stack in the tray, the flatter your Lead Sled sits during recoil, which translates to tighter groups and a lot less punishment on your shoulder during a long load-development session.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much weight does the standard Lead Sled Weight Bag hold?
Filled with lead shot, it holds approximately 25 lbs, which is the go-to option for maximum recoil control in the smallest space. If you fill it with sand instead, it carries around 7 lbs. It ships empty so you choose the fill and the final weight.
Which Lead Sled models does this weight bag fit?
The standard bag is sized to drop right into the shot tray of the Lead Sled, Lead Sled Plus, and Lead Sled DFT. At 5.5 by 10 by 3 inches it seats cleanly in the tray, and you can add a second bag when you want extra hold-down for heavy recoiling rifles or shotguns.
Does the Lead Sled Weight Bag come already filled?
No, it comes unfilled so you can load it with your material of choice. Most people use lead shot for the heaviest ballast, while sand is the cheaper and easier-to-source alternative. Both work well, so it comes down to how much weight you want and what you have on hand.
What is the weight bag made of?
It's built from a durable green Cordura-style nylon that stands up to repeated range trips and the load of a full charge of shot. A zippered closure keeps the fill sealed inside, and the sewn-in handles make it easy to carry to and from the bench.
