Carlson's Choke Tubes 09011 Black Cloud 09011 12 Gauge Long Range Steel Titanium Coated

The Carlson's Black Cloud 12 gauge long-range choke tube is built to unlock the full potential of Federal Premium's Black Cloud steel ammunition. If you're running Black Cloud loads and want to tighten your pattern downrange and reduce wad buildup, this titanium-coated steel tube is engineered to work in concert with the ammunition's FliteControl wad design and Flitestopper shot column. The result is better energy retention and cleaner performance at distance—exactly what you need when precision matters in the field.

The titanium coating isn't just marketing; it's a working surface that minimizes fouling and keeps the wad performing consistently as it travels downrange. That means less cleanup, more reliability, and better shot-to-shot consistency. While this tube is optimized for Federal's Black Cloud ammunition, it performs admirably with other steel shotshells, giving you flexibility if you rotate loads or hunt with different setups.

The long-range configuration is specifically tuned for extended-distance waterfowl and upland work. Just remember: stick to BB shot or smaller, and don't push velocities beyond 1550 fps. If you're running tighter ranges or larger shot, Carlson's also offers a mid-range model. This is a straightforward, purpose-built tube for hunters who trust Federal Black Cloud ammunition and want a choke that actually complements it instead of fighting it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this choke with ammunition other than Black Cloud?

Yes. While it's optimized for Federal Black Cloud ammunition, the long-range tube performs well with other steel shotshells—just stay within the velocity and shot-size limits.

What shot sizes can I use with the Black Cloud long-range choke?

BB shot or smaller. Do not use shot larger than BB in this tube.

What velocity limit does this choke have?

Keep your steel loads to 1550 fps or slower with this long-range model. If you're shooting faster ammunition, you'll need a different choke.

Is there a mid-range version if I need different performance?

Yes. Carlson's offers a mid-range Black Cloud choke tube as well, which can be used with all steel shot sizes and is better suited for closer-range hunting.
