Your Range Bag

I use an old camera case, it is large enough for a 9mm, a 45acp, and a 22lr. plus ammo for all three, hearing, and eye protectors, staple gun and staples, targets, a towel, a screwdriver and an uploader, plus several baggies for brass. there may even be a pb&j sandwich in there somewhere.
 
I bought a cool camo bag from Cabela's on sale $14.95
reinforced handles and shoulder strap. 10"x16" bag maybe bigger.
one end pocket has all my bore snakes in zip lock bags. Plus the small bottles of cleaner and lube in a zip loc bag.
the other end pocket has my Johnson & johnson travel first aid kit. Find them at Wal-Mart cheap. Nice plastic case. Fit in most glove boxes.

Other than for the club's double-action revolver league, I don't use a range bag.

I use a five gun bullseye shooter's (since that's most of my shooting, when I had money to shoot) box with a spotting scope mounted on the lid. If I need to carry a LOT of ammunition, I've got a small duffel bag which I got from a computer course.

For the revolver league, I use a small laptop bag that holds my Model 14 or Model 25-2, a box or two of ammunition, moon clips, speed loaders, Chapman toolkit and hearing and eye protection.
 
I use an old camera bag, kinda like Joe. Some cleaning supplies, a bottle of BreakFree, a delrin rod, rags, hearing protectors, a small screwdriver, and a Swiss Army knife....
 
So much stuff I can't remember it all. I do carry my ammo in the range bags. Both rifles and pistols go in their separate cases. I carry a 5 section cleaning rod with patch tips for 22, 30, 38, 40 and 45. I also carry oil, and some grease for M1 and M1A rifles. I carry clips: Springfield, M1, Mauser (both rifle and pistol), SMLE; two of each. My most essential tool is a copper mallet, about 1/2 pound.
 
Range bag? My range bag depends... on what I'll be shooting. For handguns, my range bag is a USGI surplus gas mask bag. It holds my ammo, ear muffs, plugs, screw driver. On top goes whatever revolver I am shooting, in a holster. If there's not room, the revolver of pistol goes in a foam lined double handgun box by Doskocil (Doskocil 10402).

For a trip to the rifle range, everything goes in a tool bag given to me by a employe of the Bell System. It is just a large open top heavy canvas bag w/ two handles. It holds my ammo, ear muffs, ear plugs, targets, stapler/staples, black/white tape to patch targets, binoculars, ball cap, 1907 sling, gloves, several small rugs to pad my elbows when shooting prone slow/rapid fire.
