Birchwood Casey RND15 15" Steel Target Plate NM500 Centerfire

The Birchwood Casey RND15 delivers consistent steel target performance for centerfire rifles and handguns with its 15-inch diameter striking surface. This NM500 steel construction provides the durability needed for extended shooting sessions while the high-visibility paint scheme ensures clear hit indication at various distances.

What Makes This Different

NM500 steel construction sets this target apart from standard AR500 plates by offering enhanced hardness and longevity under repeated centerfire impacts. The 15-inch diameter provides a generous target zone that accommodates both precision shooting and rapid-fire drills. Factory-applied black, red, and white paint creates distinct aiming zones while providing immediate visual feedback on shot placement.

Key Features

• 15-inch diameter NM500 steel plate rated for centerfire rifle and handgun cartridges
• High-visibility tri-color paint scheme with black, red, and white zones
• Pre-drilled hanging holes for chain or cable mounting systems
• 3/8-inch steel thickness provides optimal balance of weight and durability
• Compatible with common centerfire cartridges from .223 Remington to .308 Winchester

Range performance remains consistent across temperature variations and weather conditions typical of outdoor shooting environments. The substantial mass dampens swing motion after impacts, allowing for faster follow-up shots during training sequences. Minimum engagement distance recommendations vary by cartridge velocity, with most centerfire rifle rounds requiring 100+ yard standoff distances for safe operation.
