Short answer is Yes .for the serious accuracy enthusiast Chromite or zirconium in the rear bag . Play sand in the front is the norm in competition br . Check foundry suppliers for both that’s where they use it . Play sand available just about any where . Rear bag should be packed on the bottom and firm to hard . The ears firm with just a little air space. Stock should remain neutral under recoil . Front bag firm but not rock hard or the rifle will tend to bounce.
If your a plinker Its probably irrelevant and all that other stuff will work just fine
