Carlson's PATTERNING &
IMPORTANT CHOKE TUBE INFORMATION
CARLSON'S Choke tubes are manufactured from the 17-4 PH
Stainless Steel. When shooting steel shot always
shoot a more open choke than you would with lead because
steel patterns are tighter, at the same distance, than
lead shot.
Use the following rule:
Cylinder Lead = Improved Cylinder Steel
Improved Cylinder Lead = Modified Cylinder Steel
Modified Lead = Full Steel
CARLSON'S Extended Steel Shot Choke Tubes and Sporting
Clays Choke Tubes pattern better with steel shot and throw
10-15% denser patterns than flush mount choke tubes. Never
shoot BBB, T, or F steel shot through ANY flush mount
choke tighter than Modified. BB and smaller size steel
shot may be used through full choke constrictions. Hevi-Shot,
Bismuth Shot, and Tungsten Polymer may be used in all lead
shot choke tubes, Tungsten Iron shot should be treated the
same as steel shot.
As with any load and CARLSON'S Choke Tube you plan on
using in your shotgun you should ALWAYS pattern the load
with the choke. You wouldn't mount a scope on your
favorite rifle and go hunting without sighting it in, do
the same with your shotgun for a successful hunt. |
