The Clever Mirage T1 is a solid choice if you're looking for 28 gauge ammunition that handles clay targets consistently without the premium price tag of top-tier brands. Made in Italy by Clever, a manufacturer with a solid reputation among competitive and recreational shooters, these shells pack 3/4 ounce of #8 shot to a velocity of 1300 feet per second.
The #8 shot size is purpose-built for sporting clays and skeet shooting at typical ranges. With roughly 307 pellets per shell, you get a dense pattern that creates multiple hit opportunities on clay targets. The smaller pellet size means faster patterns and better coverage at close range, which is exactly what clay shooters need. This makes them particularly effective on fast-moving targets where precision matters more than downrange power.
The 1300 feet per second velocity is standard for target-grade 28 gauge shells. Shooters have reported that Clever's Mirage line performs consistently through their shotguns, with clean firing and minimal variability from shell to shell. The ammunition burns cleanly and patterns well across a range of choke tubes, which means you can dial in your gun's performance without wrestling with unpredictable ammunition behavior.
28 gauge is known for its light recoil and manageability, and these shells enhance that characteristic. The Mirage T1 line generally produces softer shooting sensations compared to larger gauges, making it easier to stay on target through multiple rounds. That matters when you're working through several hundred shells at the range or during competition—less fatigue means more consistent results later in the day.
The #8 shot size contains smaller pellets, which means more pellets per shell (around 307 compared to fewer larger pellets). This creates denser patterns ideal for close-range clay targets and sporting clays where multiple hits on small targets matter. Larger sizes like #6 retain more energy downrange and are better for upland hunting where you need knockdown power at distance.
Yes. Clever ammunition is manufactured in Italy and has a solid track record among target shooters. The Mirage T1 line is known for consistent performance, clean burning, and minimal variation between rounds. Users report no misfires and reliable patterns through various shotgun platforms. Some Olympic-level shooters have used Clever shells in competition.
The 28 gauge produces significantly less recoil than both 12 and 20 gauge due to its smaller payload and lighter charge. This is one of the main reasons shooters prefer the 28—it allows for longer practice sessions and faster target acquisition without fatigue. The Clever Mirage T1 specifically is noted for soft shooting characteristics.
Yes. Clever shells feature low brass construction and are regularly reloaded by competitive shooters. They're compatible with standard reloading equipment and data, making them economical for high-volume shooting over time.
