It came with a unfilled bag,the instruction say you are suppose to fill it with sand,yet I see nowhere for a opening to insert sand into the bag.Anybody have any ideas,am I missing something?

Isn't there a flap on the bottom side of the bag for filling?

I can't help you with the Caldwell bag specifically, but the bags I have all came with one or more flaps that you pull out, fill through, then tuck back into a slot. The easiest way that I have found to do this is to attach an 8-12" long piece of tubing to the end of a funnel so that you can stick the tube through the flap all the way into the bag. Otherwise the sand stops of the flap making this a very long process:banghead::banghead::cuss:. Also, you can use rice or even birdseed instead of sand.

thanks guys,had to poke a hole inside the flap so it would fill,that was the problem.Used a funnel like you advised.
