CARTRIDGES MODEL “GRAND'ITALIA” of CLEVER MIRAGE - Specialist cartridge for the Olympic Trench, for the international Skeet and Double Trap, fast and constant, it is proposed in the classic 24 and 28 grams weights for sporting but also used in the hunting field.
The results of the tests with the "Grand'Italia" cartridges for shotgun 12/70 caliber, gave amazing results with which many international champions have won everything that was humanly possible to win in the world: from medals to the Olympics, to World Cups, at the European Championship, at the Mediterranean Games at the Championship of Latin Countries, not to mention the various national titles at all latitudes.
The cartridges of Clever Mirage, a historic company founded in 1960 and based in Ponte Florio - Montorio, were tested, specifically the “Grand'Italia” model for shotguns, 12/70 gauge. For the ballistic test in question, the cartridges were mounted on the Magtech rifle, caliber 12 / 70-76, model 586-2, with a “pump action” system.
The technical specifications of the cartridge are:
• CALIBRO: 12/70 millimeters
• Pod length 70mm
• Loading the pellets: 33 grams
• Speed: 400m/s
• fulminant "Martignoni 688
• average dispersion of the rose: 92% at 32 mt. Within a radius of 75 cm
• Powder: 206
• Pellets: No. 5, lead and 5% antimony
Commonly used material was used for this test, to prove not only the effect of the cartridge on impact, but also and above all to know the dispersion of the rose during flight. The test showed that, once the pellets increase the distance when they leave the barrel, a cone is formed whose vertex corresponds to the muzzle of the gun.
The first test was carried out at a distance of 25 meters, using the sheet metal of a car, on which it was possible to highlight a dispersion almost equal to zero. The second test was carried out at 15 meters and with the latter it was possible to deduce the large concentration of pellets, the largest pile of which is concentrated in a diameter of 30 cm. In conclusion, the type of cartridges in question has shown versatility and precision, adapting to the sporting use for which it is conceived for many types of hunting, in particular that of partridges.
The cartridges of the Clever Mirage, model "Grand'Italia", are presented as a good "power" for the weapon, demonstrating complete reliability from the moment they are ejected until impact. The shot is direct and strong, amplifying the energetic sensation that every hunter feels the moment he uses his rifle.
