The Carlson's Choke Tubes 09006 Black Cloud 12 Gauge Mid-Range Steel Titanium Coated choke is engineered to maximize the ballistic potential of Federal's Black Cloud steel shotshell ammunition. Built with a titanium-coated steel construction, this extended choke tube reduces wad fouling downrange, allowing Black Cloud's proprietary FliteControl Wad and Flitestopper shot to maintain their pattern integrity and effectiveness all the way to the target. If you shoot Black Cloud loads—or any quality steel shotshell—this mid-range choke delivers the bore-specific performance designed to put more birds in your bag.
What sets this choke apart is its compatibility with the full spectrum of steel shot velocities and sizes. Unlike some chokes that restrict ammunition choice, the mid-range model handles all steel shot sizes and performs reliably with ammunition loaded above 1550 fps, giving you flexibility to match your loads to conditions without worrying about choke limitations. The titanium coating does the heavy lifting here: it minimizes buildup inside the tube that can degrade pattern consistency over a season of shooting.
These tubes are designed to work without porting or wad-stopping devices, keeping the shot column stable and true. Carlson's backs the choke with a lifetime warranty, so you're investing in a tool meant to outlast your shotgun. Whether you're hunting ducks, geese, or upland game with steel shot, a purpose-built choke makes the difference between educated guesses and confident, repeatable patterns.

The long-range model is restricted to steel shot BB or smaller and ammunition loaded at or below 1550 fps. Choose mid-range for broader ammunition flexibility.
No. This choke is designed to work with ammunition that does not use porting or wad-stopping devices. The titanium coating handles the job of reducing wad fouling on its own.
