The correct term is ‘photo grabber’ as my German friend used to say.

Might want to use waterproof cardboard for a outdoorsy model though.

Black corflute for the water resistant version

If you use cardboard wrapped in insulation tape you can reuse the tape for muzzle tape, closing up knife whoopsies and all sorts of useful stuff.

I think its 24.5 ill check tonight it would have been a great 5 shot group if i hadn't pulled one a bit.
But I'm happy as it was just shooting prone off a bipod.

Thanks for that, I have loaded 23gr, 23.5gr and 24gr of 2206H with the 80gr ELDM's to give a crack next time I'm at the range.
