The Carlson's Black Cloud 12 gauge long range choke tube is a titanium-coated steel tube engineered specifically to maximize the performance of Federal Premium Black Cloud ammunition in waterfowl and long-range upland hunting. If you're running Black Cloud shells or other quality steel shotshells, this extended choke is built to deliver cleaner patterns downrange and reduce fouling buildup—both critical factors when distance and consistency matter most.
The titanium coating on this choke works in concert with Federal's FliteControl wad design, allowing the shot column to perform more effectively at extended ranges while minimizing buildup inside the tube. That means more shots through a cleaner choke and better downrange performance when it counts. While these tubes are optimized for Black Cloud ammunition, they perform reliably with other steel shotshells as well, giving you versatility in your ammo choices without compromising pattern quality.
Carlson's long range model is purpose-built for distance work, but there are important velocity and shot size limits to observe. The extended design gives you the tuning capability serious waterfowl and long-range upland hunters expect, backed by a brand known for precision choke engineering. If you're looking to tighten your patterns and reduce choke fouling with modern steel loads, this is a no-compromise option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this long range choke with ammunition other than Black Cloud?
Yes, the Carlson's long range choke performs well with other steel shotshells, but observe the velocity and shot size restrictions: do not use with steel shot larger than BB, and do not exceed 1550 fps. These limits ensure safe and reliable function.
What's the main advantage of the titanium coating?
The titanium coating minimizes buildup inside the tube during shooting, allowing cleaner performance downrange and reducing the maintenance burden between shooting sessions. This is especially valuable when running high-velocity or frequent rounds through the same tube.
Is this the right choke for my shotgun?
This choke tube fits 12 gauge shotguns with removable choke tubes. If your shotgun accepts standard choke tubes, this will work. Confirm your shotgun model accepts Carlson's choke tubes before purchase.
