The Carlson's Blind Side Beretta Benelli 12GA Mid Range choke tube is engineered specifically for waterfowl hunters running steel shot loads out to intermediate distances. This mid-range option pairs with Beretta and Benelli shotguns to optimize pattern performance with modern steel ammunition—including Winchester Blind Side HEX Steel Shot and other quality steel loads. If you're hunting ducks or geese and want a choke tube tuned to deliver reliable, dense patterns without the complexity of swapping between multiple constrictions, this is the straightforward answer.
Carlson's designed this choke with a specific constriction and length profile that works in harmony with steel shot's ballistics. The mid-range version handles all standard steel shot ammunition effectively, making it versatile enough for a full season without guesswork. It also patterns well with lead-plated copper and nickel shot, as well as Hevi-Shot loads, so you're not locked into one ammunition type—useful if you're testing loads or adapting to what's available.
Installation and removal are simple; it threads into your Beretta or Benelli like any standard choke tube. The mid-range constriction strikes a balance between tighter patterns and velocity tolerance, giving you forgiving performance across the loads most hunters actually use in the field. No special tools or techniques required—just swap it in and go.

Frequently Asked Questions
What shotguns does this choke tube fit?
The Carlson's Blind Side choke is designed for Beretta and Benelli 12 gauge shotguns. Confirm your shotgun's choke tube compatibility before purchase.
Can I use this with all steel shot loads?
Yes, the mid-range version performs with all steel shot ammunition. Carlson's also offers an Extended Range variant, but that model has velocity and shot size restrictions—the mid-range tube is the more forgiving choice for general steel shot use.
Does it work with ammunition other than Blind Side?
Yes. While optimized for Blind Side loads, this choke tubes patterns well with other steel shot ammunition, as well as lead-plated copper, nickel shot, and Hevi-Shot loads.
What's the difference between mid-range and extended range Blind Side chokes?
The mid-range version is compatible with all steel shot ammunition. The Extended Range variant has restrictions and should not be used with steel shot larger than BB or loads exceeding 1550 fps—details to review if you're considering both options.
