Overview
Shooting Targets USA sandblasts mill scale off the plate before cutting, then ships the gong with 1/2-inch mounting holes that fit its own hangers and most third-party C-hooks. The product listing is unusually specific: 477 to 534 Brinell hardness, a named caliber list that runs from .22 LR through .500 S&W on the pistol side and .223, 7.62, .243, .260, and .30-06 on the rifle side, and explicit distance guidance. That guidance is the part to read twice. The company asks for 10 yards minimum with handguns, 100 yards minimum with rifles, and 200 yards for anything leaving the muzzle above 3,000 fps.
Key Features
- 477 to 534 Brinell hardness published on the listing
- Six diameters from 4 to 16 inches
- Mill scale sandblasted off before the plate is cut
- 1/2-inch mounting holes fit standard hangers
- Manufacturer-published minimum distances by firearm type
Pros
- +Hardness range, caliber list, and minimum distances are all published
- +16-inch option is larger than most competitors' biggest round plate
- +1/2-inch holes accept generic hangers, not a proprietary system
- +Made in North Carolina with a lifetime warranty against defects
Cons
- −Hangers and a stand are separate purchases
- −Anything over 3,000 fps at the muzzle needs a 200-yard bay per the maker
- −The 1/4-inch version is a separate listing, not a variant of this one
