Birchwood Casey BC-RND4-38 AR500 Steel 4" Round Target Gong

The Birchwood Casey BC-RND4-38 delivers consistent target feedback with AR500 steel construction rated for centerfire rifle cartridges. This 4-inch round gong provides audible confirmation of hits while withstanding thousands of rounds from popular calibers including .223, .308, and .30-06.

What Makes This Different

AR500 steel construction sets this target apart from mild steel alternatives that dent and crater after minimal use. The 3/8-inch thickness provides the optimal balance between durability and weight, allowing the target to absorb energy from high-velocity rounds while maintaining structural integrity. Standard mild steel targets typically fail after 100-200 centerfire impacts, while AR500 steel maintains its surface through 3,000+ rounds.

Key Features

• AR500 Brinell hardness steel rated for centerfire rifle cartridges up to 3,000 fps
• 3/8-inch thickness optimized for .223 Remington through .30-06 Springfield
• 4-inch diameter provides clear target presentation at 100-300 yard distances
• Pre-drilled mounting hole accepts standard 1/2-inch hardware
• Smooth surface finish prevents bullet fragmentation and extends target life
• Compatible with AR500 target stands and hanging systems
• Made in USA with certified AR500 steel meeting ASTM standards

Range performance remains consistent across temperature extremes from -40°F to 120°F without brittleness or warping. The round profile distributes impact energy evenly, preventing stress concentration points that cause cracking in square targets. Minimum engagement distance of 100 yards ensures safe bullet fragmentation while maximizing target visibility for precision rifle training and competition practice.
