Description
Clever has been making shotshells in Italy for decades, and the Mirage Competition T2 is their answer for shooters who want a dependable target load without any surprises at the patterning board. This is a straightforward 2-3/4 inch, 12 gauge shell loaded with 1 ounce of #7.5 lead shot, built to run clean through pump and semi-auto guns alike on a busy day at the club.
Mirage Competition T2 Ballistics
The T2 pushes that 1 ounce payload at a 3 dram equivalent, landing around 1280 fps at the muzzle. That's a middle-of-the-road velocity that a lot of competitive trap and skeet shooters lean on because it patterns consistently without beating up your shoulder over a long practice session. The #7.5 shot size gives you a good pellet count for breaking clays at typical station distances, whether you're working the trap house or moving through a sporting clays course.
Why the Mirage Competition T2 Load Holds Up
Clever builds these shells with an eye toward uniform powder charges and wad performance, which is what target shooters actually notice over time. It shows up as fewer flyers, more even patterns, and shells that cycle without drama. That kind of consistency matters just as much as raw speed when you're trying to keep a run going.
This load fits naturally into a rotation for anyone shooting trap, skeet, or sporting clays on a regular basis. It's not trying to be a hunting round or a heavy hitter, it's built to do one job well: break targets predictably, shot after shot, without adding unnecessary recoil to the equation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What shooting disciplines is the Mirage Competition T2 designed for?
This load is built for clay target games like trap, skeet, and sporting clays. The 1 oz payload of #7.5 shot and 1280 fps velocity gives you a well-rounded pattern for typical target distances without excessive recoil.
Will Clever Mirage Competition T2 shells cycle reliably in a semi-auto shotgun?
Yes, these are standard 2-3/4 inch, 3 dram equivalent shells that generate enough gas and recoil impulse to run most gas and inertia operated semi-autos without needing an adjustment. They also feed and eject cleanly through pumps and break actions.
Is #7.5 shot a good choice compared to #8 for target loads?
Number 7.5 shot is slightly larger and heavier per pellet than #8, giving it a bit more downrange energy while still offering a dense pattern. Many trap and sporting clays shooters prefer it for that extra bit of punch on longer presentations, while #8 tends to be favored for closer skeet stations.
Is this a lead or steel shot load?
The Mirage Competition T2 is loaded with lead shot, not steel. Lead patterns more consistently at these velocities and is standard for dedicated target and competition ammunition like this.
