Clever T-1 #7.5 @1250fps 1oz.

The Clever T-1 is Clever Mirage's competition-grade target load, engineered in Italy for shooters who need consistency when it counts. This 12 gauge shell pairs 1oz of hard #7.5 shot with a 1250fps muzzle velocity — a combination built for sporting clays, FITASC, and mixed-discipline shooting where target presentations vary in both distance and angle. If you've been shooting the T-1 in #8 and want more reach on distant stations, this is the step up.

Why shooters choose it:

- 1250fps velocity: Fast enough for reliable breaks on mid-range and distant clays without the punishing recoil of higher-speed loads during long sessions.

- #7.5 shot: More downrange energy than #8 — the preferred choice for longer station presentations in sporting clays and FITASC where smaller pellets won't carry.

- 1oz payload: Competition-standard weight. Compliant with FITASC and most sporting clays events. Keeps your setup consistent across matches.

- Competition-line quality: The T-1 is Clever's competition tier, not the Club practice line. Tight velocity tolerances and hard shot are built in.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Clever T-1 #7.5 1250fps 1oz used for?

This load is designed for clay target sports — primarily sporting clays and FITASC, where target distances and angles vary widely. The #7.5 shot provides sufficient downrange energy for longer presentations, and the 1250fps velocity delivers reliable performance across a full round of mixed stations.

How does #7.5 shot compare to #8 in clay sports?

#7.5 pellets are slightly larger and heavier than #8, which gives them more energy at distance. Shooters use #7.5 when they need reliable breaks on longer-range targets, particularly in sporting clays and FITASC. #8 is preferred for close-in presentations and high-volume skeet. For a mix of disciplines or long-distance stations, #7.5 is the more versatile option.

What is the difference between the Clever T-1 and the Clever T-1 Club?

The Clever T-1 is Clever Mirage's competition-grade line, built for match performance and tighter quality tolerances. The T-1 Club is their value practice line, designed for high-volume sessions at softer velocities. For match use or when you need consistent performance round to round, the standard T-1 is the right choice.

Is Clever ammo reliable for competition use?

Yes. Clever Mirage is an Italian manufacturer with a strong reputation in European clay sports competition. Their loads are known for consistent velocity, clean burn, and reliable patterns — all factors that matter when you're shooting a full day of targets and need to trust your ammunition.
