Description
The Clever Mirage Super Target T1 is one of those target loads that quietly earns a loyal following. Loaded in Italy with hard, uniform lead shot, this 12 gauge shell runs 1-1/8 oz of #9 pellets down a 2-3/4" hull at around 1200 fps. That #9 shot throws a dense, even pattern that's tailor-made for skeet and the closer presentations you see on a sporting clays course, giving you plenty of pellets in the pattern to turn edge-on targets into dust.
What Sets the Mirage Super Target T1 Apart
Ask anyone who shoots a lot of clays and the two things that come up about these shells are recoil and cleanliness. The T1 is noticeably soft on the shoulder for a 12 gauge target load, which matters when you're running through station after station or shooting a long day of registered targets. It also burns clean, so if you shoot a semi-auto you won't be scrubbing a mess of unburnt powder out of the action at the end of the day. Reliability is another strong point, with folks reporting flat after flat without a dud or failure to fire.
Reloaders and the Mirage T1 Hull
The red Clever hull is a favorite among reloaders. It's a low-brass shell with a plastic body that takes a fresh charge nicely, and many shooters interchange it with common Remington reloading data. So even after you've had your fun on the range, the empties are worth hanging onto.
Between the mild kick, the clean burn, and patterns that break targets as hard as shells costing quite a bit more, the Mirage Super Target T1 is an easy load to trust when the score matters. Skeet shooters especially will appreciate what #9 shot does inside the hula hoop, and sporting clays shooters have found plenty of use for it on the tighter stations too.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Clever Mirage Super Target T1 best used for?
This load shines for skeet and the closer stations on a sporting clays course. The #9 shot throws a dense, even pattern that's ideal for breaking targets at typical skeet distances. Plenty of shooters also run it for close-range trap and general clay practice.
Is the Mirage Super Target T1 soft shooting?
Yes, it's known for being one of the milder-recoiling 12 gauge target loads out there. Shooters consistently note the low kick, which makes a real difference over a long day on the range. It also burns clean, so semi-auto shooters won't be fighting a dirty action.
Can I reload the Clever Mirage T1 hulls?
You can. The red Clever hull is a low-brass plastic shell that reloaders like, and many folks interchange it with common Remington reloading data. Just hang onto your empties after your round and they're ready for another life.
Why choose #9 shot in the Mirage Super Target T1?
The smaller #9 pellets mean more pellets in the pattern for the same payload, which fills out your pattern nicely on close targets. That extra density is what makes it a favorite for skeet, where most birds are broken inside 25 yards. For longer sporting clays presentations, a larger shot size may serve you better.
