Description
Federal's Black Cloud ammo uses a stiff FliteControl wad and Flitestopper shot that behaves differently than a standard steel load, and this Carlson's Mid-Range choke is cut specifically to work with it. It's machined from titanium-coated steel with a .705 diameter constriction, built for the Beretta/Benelli Mobil thread pattern. The whole idea here is matching the choke to the load so the pattern opens up the way it should at real-world waterfowl ranges.
The titanium coating isn't just for looks. That hard Black Cloud wad tends to leave more plastic residue behind than a softer shot cup, and the coating helps cut down on that buildup so your pattern stays honest shot after shot. It also adds a layer of corrosion resistance, which matters when you're sitting in a wet blind all morning.
Why the Mid-Range Carlson's Black Cloud Choke Earns Its Keep
Mid-Range constriction is the sweet spot for most duck hunters working birds over decoys, roughly in that 30 to 40 yard window. You get a pattern dense enough to put birds down cleanly without being so tight that you're punching holes in the air on close shots. The Mid-Range model also plays well with all steel shot sizes and handles high-velocity ammo running past 1550 fps, so you're not boxed in on load selection.
Fit and Field Use for the Black Cloud Mobil Choke
This is an extended, non-ported tube with a knurled end, which makes swapping it in and out easy even with cold or gloved hands. Black Cloud loads are designed to run through chokes without porting or wad-stopping features, so the non-ported design is exactly what these shells want. While it's tuned for Federal Black Cloud, it patterns right with other steel brands too, and it'll handle lead, copper, and Hevi-Shot if you run those. Made in the USA and backed by Carlson's lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Carlson's Black Cloud choke fit my shotgun?
This model is threaded for the Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke system in 12 gauge. If your Beretta or Benelli uses the Mobil pattern, it'll thread right in. Always double-check your shotgun's choke system before ordering, since Benelli also uses the Crio Plus pattern on some models.
Do I have to shoot Federal Black Cloud ammo with it?
No. The choke is tuned specifically for Black Cloud's FliteControl wad and Flitestopper shot, but it patterns well with other steel shotshell brands too. It'll also handle lead, copper, and Hevi-Shot if you run those loads.
What range is the Mid-Range Black Cloud choke best for?
Mid-Range constriction is geared toward roughly 30 to 40 yards, which covers most ducks and geese working over decoys. It throws a dense enough pattern to put birds down without being too tight on closer shots. If you're reaching for birds past 50 yards regularly, the Long Range model may suit you better.
Can I run high-velocity steel loads through this choke?
Yes. The Mid-Range model can be used with all steel shot sizes and handles ammunition that exceeds 1550 fps. That gives you plenty of flexibility in load selection for different waterfowl situations.
