The Clever New Pheasant H.V. Game T3 12 Gauge shell (brand part no. CMRXHV126) is a high-velocity upland hunting load built for pheasant and other tough-to-anchor game birds. Clever loads this Italian-made shell with a hearty 1-1/4 ounce (36 gram) charge of #6 lead shot, driven to 1330 fps for flatter shooting and more energy downrange on crossing birds. The standard 2-3/4 inch hull runs through pump, semi-auto, and break-action 12 gauges, making it a practical choice for a full day in the field. For hunters who want extra knockdown power on pheasant without stepping up shot size to the point of ruining table birds, this is a solid pick.
