Leadwake bags 50# real dimensions

[Lees23]

I am trying to find out how Leadwake.com bags are listed as much smaller than other brands.  Most 50# bags are 11/13/3.5", leadwake lists their bags at 9/11/2".  How?  I am looking for weight to put under the front seat in my 17' VLX. I think leadwake will fit but not the other bags s listed at the same weight.  Seems odd.

They use lead not steel.

Not according to their website.  100% steel.

Smaller shot size?

You're right.

I think the EPA has put pretty tight restrictions on lead.  I know as late as 2015 leadwake was using at least some lead in their bags.  

My concern is that the 9/11/2" dimension is the size when they used lead.  I don't want to buy them, have then show up and be to big and tell me that they will refund my money but I have to pay for shipping back.  

Inhabe reached out to them via email with no response.  There is not number to call on their website.

I bought my bags in October 2015 and they are lead. The dimensions sound about right but I will measure this weekend. Maybe they didn't update the measurements when they switch to steel.

I'm guessing they haven't updated the description.  This page lists the dimensions as 12x10x2.

Thanks, I didn't see that.  That is still significantly smaller than 11/13/3.5.
