Birchwood Casey RND8 8" Round Steel Target Plate NM500 Hanging

The Birchwood Casey RND8 delivers consistent target practice with hardened NM500 steel construction that withstands repeated centerfire rifle and handgun impacts. This 8-inch round target plate provides clear visual feedback through its distinctive black, red, and white color scheme while maintaining structural integrity through thousands of rounds.

What Makes This Different

NM500 steel offers superior hardness compared to standard AR500 targets, providing enhanced durability against high-velocity rifle rounds up to 3,000 fps. The precision-cut round design ensures consistent bullet deflection angles, directing fragments safely downward. Unlike painted targets that chip and fade, the integrated color scheme maintains visibility session after session.

Key Features

• NM500 hardened steel construction rated for centerfire rifle and handgun calibers
• 8-inch diameter provides optimal target size for precision shooting at various distances
• Integrated black, red, and white color pattern eliminates need for spray paint touch-ups
• Pre-drilled hanging holes accommodate standard chains or mounting hardware
• Smooth surface finish promotes consistent bullet deflection and fragment control
• Compatible with .22 LR through .308 Winchester and equivalent handgun cartridges
• Weather-resistant coating prevents rust and corrosion during outdoor storage

Range performance remains consistent across temperature variations and weather conditions. The 8-inch diameter works effectively for precision rifle training at 100+ yards while providing sufficient target area for handgun practice at closer distances. Steel construction eliminates the ongoing costs of paper targets while providing immediate audible feedback upon impact.
