What's in your range bag?

[Slawburger]

I saw a guy at the range the other day that had one of those steel mesh utility carts.

Similar to this: Sears.com

He had all sorts of crates, boxes and rifle cases piled on it. It saved him a lot of trips to the truck.

I usually leave most of my stuff in the vehicle so I can keep track of what I have on the line and just make more trips when I want to change firearms. Of course, I often have "porters" with me to help carry stuff.

Today was 100 test loads of HS6 for 9mm and 100 test loads of AA5 for 9mm. Both 124gr and trying to work up a good load for a few different guns. And I had an AR lower assembly with me that a guy at work wanted to check out (first one assembled by me). Also had a tray for sorting brass as I fired it (to look at closer later), a Glock 17, a Glock 26, pen and paper. Ears were in the truck already. Other than the AR this is kinda typical for a range trip except I usually have a bottle if water and 3-4 guns and more ammo with me. And a snack or 2.

My fiance bought me the large Midway USA Range bag for my birthday last year! This is great! Right now I have 10 Glock Magazines, 250 rounds of 9mm, 250 rounds of 40 S&W, 2 sets of ear protection, 2 sets of safety glasses, and my extra eye glasses.

Yes, but sans sun umbrella. :lol

Actually, if you don't have a covered spot for shade that might not be a bad idea. Sure, people will point and laugh, but only until they get hot.

I use that cart for competition (and longer practice sessions). Typically, I get it gets laughs at the start of the day, but then a few hrs later those same people are trying to fit under the umbrella when the sun is baking down or it's raining (like in that picture). I have a rule: If you laugh, you don't get to use the umbrella!

In that photo there are 3 guys' worth of gun bags and a couple coolers.

ps. I already had a bunch of basal-cell skin cancer cut off my face (honest, that's the only reason I'm so ugly) a few years ago (I was 30 at the time), so I try to protect myself from hrs in the sun.

safety glasses, at least two extra mags, ear pro, a little CLP, and any tools I need to adjust optics or sites.

my range bag (for pistols) is a sweet lowepro camera bag with adjustable interior velcro pads.
also on a side note: my wife surprised me with an awesome Glock "range kit".

In addition to all of the above I carry small bags (sox work) for expended brass. Small flashlight. Ram rod for pushing out squibs, target patches (white and black tape). I can usually find good, usable bags cheap from Goodwill, etc. OK this a lot of stuff to haul around so I carry the items I only use occasionally in a separate, not caliber specific bag or box.
