Hey guys looking to get some good choke tubes for my new Versa Max this year. What are your thoughts on Patternmaster choke tubes. There the ones I am leaning towards Any thoughts on them? Also was thinking of getting the non ported ones, I have heard that the ported ones will help on recoil but are really loud, especially for your dogs. Have any of you have experience with these?
Any info on them would be great!
Thanks, Tanner Wildes

Im also Looking for a new choke tube as well for my affinity. My buddy uses the black cloud midrange choke and he loves it. So I may give that one a try.

I have a buddy who has a ported patternmaster on his Benelli and yes it's definitely louder.

My Pattern Master choke does NOT like speeds over 1400 fps.

Ten Gauge, I heard that the Patternmasters won't work properly at speeds about 1500 FPS, But did you notice bad grouping with your over 1400FPS? Just curious.
Thanks, Tanner Wildes

Yes at 1450fps I did notice a change in pattern at 40 yards(clumps,gaps). At 1500fps the patterns were blown(uneven,lots of stray pellets).

I have the pattern master extended range choke tube for my super nova. On the box it says don't use with flight control wads (ex, black cloud) or higher than 1550 fps. If I follow those recommended guidelines it has about a 2ft spread at 60 yards. However just like ten gauge said, if you go higher fps it will throw off the pattern a lot. Hope this helps and let us know what choke you end up choosing!

I have had extremely good luck and patterns with my Patternmaster Code Black Goose with Heavy Metal #2's and also with Federal Blue Box BB's. The heavy Metal is 1500 FPS I believe?? That patterns better than the anything else I have shot as far as #2's. So far from my personal testing Heavy Shot, Heavy Metal, Federal Blue Box, and any of the Federal HD shells. Everything here was done in 3" but I haven't really noticed a difference but with 3.5" shells.

Awesome! Thanks guys!
Cornfilder, what did you notice with the 3.5" shells, I shoot a lot of them, curious what was different with them.
Thanks for all the help guys!

Not much difference with the 3.5's little bit bigger patter but also denser than 3 inch. However if you shot 3.5's though the Code Black Duck or a long range rather than extended range or the Code Black Goose you would get more of a modified pattern than the full. If you want a fuller pattern go with the Code black goose or an extended range tube (depending on what one you would get) if you want more of a modified pattern with a 3.5" shell go with the Code Black Duck or a long range tube (again depending on what tube you would get). The goose is a longer tube (for those who usually shoot 3.5'' and duck is for those who shoot 3") you can shoot whatever through each tube though. The length differences are for accommodating the longer wad in the 3.5" shell to still achieve a full pattern.
Hope this helps
