bigkuntry72 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 r u using a wad stripping type choke? if so thats your problem. carlsons make a black cloud tube that comes in a long range model. i got mine at cabelas for 45 bucks. if you want to save a few bucks ill sell ya mine ( only like a box through it) if ya got time to wait for the shipping thing. choke patterned fine through my vinci just dont care for the black cloud( destroyed every duck i shot with it) ill send ya a pm with my phone number if ya got any questions.

timb99 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Define, "not patterning well." Is it not hitting your point of aim? Or do you think the patterns don't look good, and if so, what are you basing that on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cootcommander Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Mine patterned best with a Briley light modified X2 non ported choke. Placed 151 pellets evenly spaced at 40 yds. Better than factory chokes, and all BC chokes. I tried them all. Shot several boxes of shells before I came to this conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timb99 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 OK, my opinion. You can't "look" at a few patterns and decide its good or bad. To do this right, you really need to use a pattern analysis program like "Shotgun Insight." And you need a minimum of 10 shots on paper, at the distance you really think you'll be taking game. http://www.shotgun-insight.com/ It will tell you whether you are looking at a really bad patterning gun or choke, or one pattern that is bad out of 10. But before you go to this trouble, are you already hunting with it, and are you bagging birds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt11 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I use a Carlson's Black Cloud "Mid Range" choke tube in my SBE II, and it seems to work well if I do my job. The good thing about the Carlson's tube (if you really need it) is that it is about half the price of some of the others, such as Patternmaster.

Buckeye33 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Try scrubbing your choke tube really good. Often pattern problems come from too much wad buildup in long tapered tubes. This is especially critical in faster shells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
