Description
The Clever Mirage Super Target T1 is one of those shells that quietly earns a spot in your range bag and stays there. Built in Verona, Italy by Clever SRL, this 12 gauge load pairs a 1 ounce charge of #8 shot with a 2-3/4 inch hull and a listed velocity of 1200 fps. That combination lands right in the sweet spot for clay games, giving you enough pellet count to fill a pattern while keeping the push against your shoulder manageable.
What the Mirage Super Target T1 Brings to the Line
Clever has a strong reputation among sporting clays and international clay target crowds, and the Mirage line is what most folks picture when they hear the name. Shooters who run these consistently point to how clean they burn and how mild they feel, even after a couple hundred rounds in a session. The #8 shot is a classic skeet and close-to-mid range clays size, throwing a dense, even pattern that rewards a good hold. If you shoot trap, skeet, or a full sporting course, this load covers a lot of ground.
Why Reloaders Keep the Mirage ST T1 Hulls
There's a reason you see empty Clever boxes and hulls piling up at clay ranges. The hulls have excellent crimp memory and re-crimp beautifully, so folks who roll their own tend to save every one they can. They run Cheddite-style data and standard primers with no oversized primer pockets to fuss with, which makes them friendly on the reloading bench. Even if you never touch a press, that quality of construction shows up in reliable ignition and consistent shell-to-shell performance.
Bottom line, this is a well-made Italian target shell that shoots soft, patterns clean, and holds up to serious volume. Whether you're grinding through practice or shooting a registered event, the Mirage Super Target T1 gives you a dependable round that lets you focus on the target instead of the recoil.
