WITHOUT QUESTION, go with the Midway bag. For the price, it is impossible to beat it. Here's some pictures of mine that I posted a while for some other people to check out.









This last picture is of a little mini range bag that comes with it.

Pretty nice for $40. I', definitely going with this bag. How long has this one lasted for you? Pretty durable?

Umm.... I've had it for about 2 years now. I constantly load it up with a million pounds of lead for normal range visits and for major matches. I haven't noticed any wear on it yet. In all honesty, my biggest issue with it is that I sometimes have a tendency to put TOO MUCH in it and then it hurts my bag carrying it all day during a big match.

Dillon Precision: Reloaders, Reloading Equipment, Bullet Reloading, Bullet Reloaders

I've got over 9 years on my bag and the only thing wrong with it is that it is dirty. Just like the rest of Dillon's gear - it's bullet proof.

The one thing I do not like about large range bags is that I, and I think most people, tend to overload them. If there is empty space, people seem compelled to fill it. The Dillon bag really is just big enough to carry what you need.

To me, the real test of a range bag is if it can help you manage your gear for a 3-gun match. My Dillon bag will hold two 100 rd 40 S&@ ammo boxes, three 25 rd boxes of bird shot, 3-4 boxes of slugs, five 20 rd boxes of AR ammo, plus the pistol and four mags, four 30 rd rifle mags, ear protection, lubes and tools.

Mullis here are a couple links that have basically the same recommendations.

I have the Midway bag and LOVE IT. Definitely can't be beat for $40.

In one of those links another member compares the Midway bag to the 5.11. He basically surmises that the 5.11 is the exact same thing with some nicer looking hardware.

This has been one thing that's kept me from getting a bigger range bag. For matches, I've been pondering building/modifying a war-wagon of sorts. Even lugging my small bag, required accouterments, and a cooler at the summer matches down here can be a PITA.

The Midway bag can't be beat for that kind of money. I'm not sure that it can be beat for more.
