Carlson's Choke Tubes 09003 Black Cloud Beretta/Benelli 12 Gauge Long Range Steel Titanium Coated

The Carlson's Black Cloud Long Range choke tube is built for waterfowlers and steel-shot hunters who run Federal Premium's Black Cloud ammunition and want to maximize performance downrange. This extended titanium-coated steel choke fits Beretta and Benelli 12-gauge shotguns and pairs perfectly with Black Cloud's FliteControl Wad technology—the hard surface coating reduces wad buildup inside the tube and lets the shot column stay tighter longer, which means better energy delivery and more birds in the bag at distance.

Black Cloud ammunition is known for devastating penetration, and this choke is engineered to unlock that ballistic advantage. The long-range constriction tightens your pattern when it matters most, ideal for open-water duck and goose hunts where shots stretch beyond the typical close-cover range. While Carlson's designed this tube specifically for Federal's Black Cloud rounds, it cycles cleanly with other quality steel shotshells too—giving you flexibility in the field without guesswork.

The titanium coating isn't cosmetic; it's functional. Steel shot is abrasive, and a harder choke surface means less wear over a season of heavy use and more consistent patterns across multiple boxes of shells. If you're serious about steel-shot waterfowling and you've invested in Black Cloud ammunition, this choke eliminates a common weak point: a choke tube that can't keep up with premium ammo.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this Black Cloud choke work with ammunition other than Federal Black Cloud?

Yes. Carlson's designed this tube specifically for Federal's Black Cloud ammunition, but it performs reliably with other steel shotshells. Just observe the usage restrictions noted below.

What shot sizes and velocities can I safely use in the long-range model?

The long-range choke should not be used with any steel shot larger than BB or with any steel shot faster than 1550 fps. If you want to run larger shot or higher velocities, a mid-range model may be more appropriate.

Does this choke fit my Beretta or Benelli?

This choke is designed for Beretta and Benelli 12-gauge shotguns with standard choke threads. If you're unsure about your shotgun's choke system, verify your manual or contact the manufacturer before ordering.

Why does the titanium coating matter?

The titanium coating creates a harder, more durable surface that reduces buildup from the FliteControl Wad and other steel-shot residue. This means less maintenance, more consistent patterns across multiple shooting sessions, and longer choke tube life in the field.
