Birchwood Casey 12" Round NM500 Steel Target Plate for Centerfire Rifle/Handgun - Black/Red/White Hanging Target

The Birchwood Casey 12" Round NM500 Steel Target Plate is built for serious shooters who demand durability and reliable feedback downrange. Constructed from NM500 hardened steel, this hanging target stands up to repeated centerfire rifle and handgun fire without pitting or degradation, making it an investment in long-term range use rather than a disposable paper target. The 1/2-inch thickness handles the energy of common rifle and pistol rounds, and the white powder-coat finish delivers excellent shot visibility so you can see your groups clearly from downrange or via spotting scope.

Whether you're zeroing a new rifle, running defensive pistol drills, or dialing in loads at 100 yards, this target works equally well for precision shooting and volume fire. The dual hang holes make setup straightforward at any range—bolt it to a backer board, chain it to a post, or hang it from a Rogue target stand. NM500 steel doesn't fragment or ricochet like some cheaper targets; the hardness absorbs impact and shows clean, distinct bullet holes that tell you exactly where you're hitting.

Birchwood Casey has been the go-to for serious shooters for decades. This target combines that reputation for reliability with the kind of durability that justifies the step up from paper or steel spinners for anyone who shoots regularly.
