Description
Clever Ammunition built its name on the trap and skeet ranges of Italy, and the T2 Competition line is the workhorse of that reputation. This 12 gauge load packs 1 ounce of #7.5 lead shot into a 2 3/4 inch plastic hull, pushing a muzzle velocity of 1250 fps. That combination hits a sweet spot between pellet count and downrange energy, giving you dense, even patterns that break clays cleanly whether you're swinging on a crosser or calling for a straightaway.
Why the Clever T2 Competition Earns Its Spot in the Bag
The magic here is in the components and the way Clever puts them together. Quality tempered lead shot, a reliable wad, and clean-burning powder work together to hold pattern distribution tight even at higher speeds. The #7.5 shot size is the classic trap pellet, big enough to carry energy out to handicap distances but with enough count to fill a pattern for singles and doubles alike. If you've shot their cartridges before, you know they feed smooth and cycle well in semi-autos, over-unders, and pump guns.
What the T2 Competition Handles on the Range
This is a true all-arounder for clay sports. It's at home on American trap, skeet, double trap, and sporting clays courses, so one box covers a lot of different stations. The 1 oz payload and 1250 fps velocity give you a flat, fast trajectory that shortens your lead on fast targets while keeping recoil manageable through a long practice session or a full round of competition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What clay sports is the Clever T2 Competition best suited for?
The T2 Competition is a versatile target load made for trap, skeet, American trap, double trap, and sporting clays. The 1 oz of #7.5 shot throws tight, even patterns that break clays well across all of those disciplines. It's the kind of load you can shoot all day at the range without switching ammo between stations.
Will the T2 Competition cycle in a semi-automatic shotgun?
Yes. At 1250 fps with a 1 oz payload, this load carries plenty of energy to reliably cycle most gas and inertia semi-autos, and it runs just as well through over-unders and pumps. Clever builds these with quality components for smooth, consistent feeding.
Why choose #7.5 shot over #8 in the Clever T2 Competition?
The #7.5 pellet is slightly larger and carries more energy downrange, which makes it a great pick for trap and longer handicap distances where targets break farther out. It still keeps enough pellet count to fill a pattern for singles and closer presentations. If your targets tend to be out there, #7.5 is a smart choice.
Is this a lead or non-toxic shot load?
The T2 Competition in this configuration uses tempered lead shot, which is the traditional choice for trap and skeet. If your range requires non-toxic shot, you'll want to look at a steel option instead. For most clay ranges that allow lead, this load performs beautifully.
