Never heard this before, always found the opposite to be true.
You won’t find corncob or air soft BB’s ever at a BR match, pretty much 100% sand in a front bag

Agreed x2

as a bench rest shooter many of us buy the special heavier type bench rest sand,we pack all our rest bags very tight and even use some water when we fill and tamp bags ,so when its dry its very hard , firm and solid. some of us even use a deodorant that has the white powder so both hard bags slide the rifle forearm and stock back easy as it recoils. i want my bald eagle rests extremely hard always,soft bags can open your groups up.
