Description
Carlson's dialed this Black Cloud choke tube in specifically for Federal's Black Cloud ammunition, but it earns its keep with just about any steel shotshell you feed it. The titanium-coated steel construction is the real story here. That coating adds strength and cuts down on build-up inside the choke, which keeps the uniquely designed FliteControl wad doing exactly what Federal engineered it to do all the way out to the target. Since Black Cloud loads are meant to run through tubes without porting or wad-stopping features, this non-ported Long Range model is a natural match.
What Makes the Black Cloud Choke Tube Worth Running
Long Range constriction means tighter, denser patterns that hold together farther out, which is exactly what you want when the birds are hanging just past comfortable range. This one is cut for the Browning Invector Plus threading and measures right around a 0.60 inch diameter, so it fits back-bored Browning and Winchester Invector Plus 20 gauge barrels. The extended, knurled end makes swapping tubes a quick hand-twist in the blind, no fumbling with a wrench when your fingers are cold.
Why Hunters Reach for This Carlson's Tube
Like the rest of Carlson's lineup, this tube is machined in the USA and backed by years of real pattern-board testing. The titanium coating holds up to the pounding that heavy steel and buffered waterfowl loads dish out, which is more than you can say for a lot of factory tubes that were never meant to handle those pressures. If you're running Black Cloud or any serious steel load through a 20 gauge Invector Plus gun, this is the tube that lets the ammo perform the way it was designed to. It patterns clean, it holds up, and it puts more pellets on target where it counts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Black Cloud choke tube fit my 20 gauge Browning?
Yes, this tube is threaded for the Browning Invector Plus system, which is used on Browning's back-bored 20 gauge barrels and the Winchester guns that share that threading. Double check that your shotgun uses Invector Plus and not the standard Invector pattern, since they are not interchangeable. If your barrel is marked Invector Plus, you're good to go.
Do I have to use Federal Black Cloud ammo with this choke?
No. It's tuned to get the most out of Black Cloud's FliteControl wad system, but it patterns well with other steel shotshells too. Many hunters run a variety of steel loads through it with good results.
What does the Long Range constriction do for my patterns?
The Long Range model tightens things up for denser patterns that stay together at extended distances. That's ideal when birds are decoying just outside normal range and you need more pellets on target past 40 yards. If you're shooting closer work, a Mid Range tube spreads the pattern a bit more for those shots.
Why titanium-coated steel instead of plain stainless?
The titanium coating adds strength and reduces fouling and build-up inside the choke, which matters when you're running abrasive steel and heavy buffered loads. Less build-up means the wad clears cleanly and the choke keeps performing shot after shot. It also helps the tube hold up over the long haul.
