The Clever Mirage ST T1 12 Gauge Target Load (brand part no. CMST12H8) is an Italian-made trap and skeet shell built for shooters who want consistent patterns without paying premium prices. Clever loads this shell with a full 1-1/8 ounce charge of #8 lead shot at 1200 fps, a proven combination for breaking clay targets cleanly. The standard 2-3/4 inch hull cycles through pump, semi-auto, and break-action 12 gauges, and the 250-round case format keeps a busy practice schedule stocked. It is a dependable, no-nonsense option for club days, leagues, and casual clay shooting alike.
