Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Clever has been building shotshells in Verona, Italy since 1952, and the Mirage Competition T2 is one of the loads that's helped the brand rack up a serious trophy case in international clay sports. This is a straightforward, no-nonsense target round meant for volume shooting, whether that's a Saturday morning at the trap club or a full day of practice leading up to a shoot.
Each 2-3/4 inch hull carries 1 ounce of #8 lead shot pushed by a 3 dram equivalent charge for a muzzle velocity around 1280 fps. That combination gives you enough pellet count and speed to break clays consistently without beating you up after 100 rounds. Clever uses an eight-fold crimp on these shells, which keeps the payload sealed tight and feeds cleanly through pumps, semi-autos, and break actions alike.
The T2 sits in the middle of Clever's T1 through T4 competition lineup, positioned as a step up from entry-level loads while staying priced for practice sessions. Clay shooters who've run cases of these through their guns tend to mention the softer felt recoil compared to other target loads at the same velocity, along with clean burning powder and shot patterns that hold together well past typical trap and skeet distances.
Clever's shells have been part of Olympic gold medal runs and world championship wins over the decades, and that same manufacturing discipline carries down through the T2 line. It's not a premium tournament shell, but it's built on the same production standards, which is why it shows up so often as the everyday practice round for shooters who compete with Clever's higher tier loads on match day.
This load is built for clay target sports like trap, skeet, and sporting clays. The 1oz #8 shot payload and 1280 fps velocity give you a solid balance of pattern density and manageable recoil for repeated shots throughout the day.
Clay shooters who run a lot of Clever ammo through their guns often note it feels a bit softer than other loads at similar velocities. That makes it a comfortable option when you're shooting a hundred or more rounds in a single session.
Yes, the 3 dram equivalent load generates enough gas and recoil impulse to run most gas and inertia operated semi-autos without issue. The 8-fold crimp also helps these shells feed smoothly since there's less chance of a deformed hull causing a hiccup.
Number 8 shot is a classic choice for skeet and works well for trap singles at typical club distances too. If you're shooting handicap yardage or want a touch more energy downrange, Clever also offers this same T2 line in #7.5 shot.
