The Clever Standard Rx1 is a 12-gauge target shotshell built around a 1-1/8 ounce payload of #8 lead shot and a 3 dram equivalent charge. It's aimed at trap, skeet, and sporting clays shooters who run high volume and want consistent patterns without paying premium prices per box. The #8 shot size puts a dense pattern downrange, which is what breaks targets reliably at standard clay distances. Clever has built its reputation in the Italian shotshell market on volume target loads like this one, and the Rx1 line slots in as a dependable everyday practice round for anyone burning through cases at the range.
This load uses #8 lead shot, the most common pellet size for clay sports because of how many pellets pack into a 1-1/8 ounce column. More pellets means a tighter, more even pattern at the 25 to 35 yard breaks you see on a sporting clays course. The 3 dram equivalent powder charge keeps recoil manageable across long shooting sessions while still driving enough velocity to fold targets cleanly. The 12-gauge hull and standard primer feed reliably through semi-autos, over-unders, and pumps alike. Lead shot of this size is purpose-built for clay targets and upland practice, not for waterfowl, where steel or other non-toxic shot is required by federal regulation. You can compare it against other lead options in our lead shot lineup and broader shotgun ammunition.
Reach for the Rx1 when you're heading to the trap field, skeet range, or a sporting clays round and want a high-volume practice load that won't beat up your shoulder. It's a solid choice for new shooters learning to break targets and for seasoned competitors logging reps before a match. The #8 pellet count also makes it usable for close-range upland birds in seasons where lead is legal. Buy it by the case if you shoot regularly.

The #8 refers to pellet size. Number 8 lead shot is small, so a 1-1/8 ounce payload holds a high pellet count. That density produces tighter, more consistent patterns, which is why #8 is the go-to size for clay target sports and close-range upland birds.
No. This is a lead load, and federal regulations require non-toxic shot such as steel, bismuth, or tungsten for waterfowl. The Rx1 is intended for clay targets and upland practice where lead is legal. Check our steel and bismuth listings for waterfowl-legal options.
The 3 dram equivalent charge generates enough gas pressure to cycle most semi-autos reliably, and it also runs fine in over-unders and pump guns. If you have a particularly light-recoiling target gun, confirm it cycles standard 1-1/8 ounce loads.
