Elevate Your Turkey Hunt: The Carlson's 38010 TSS Turkey Choke Tube for 12 Gauge Benelli/Beretta Shotguns

For dedicated turkey hunters, the pursuit of that elusive gobbler is a passion. It demands precision, reliability, and the absolute best equipment to ensure an ethical and successful harvest. One of the most critical components in achieving this is the right choke tube, especially when utilizing the dense and incredibly effective Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) loads. If you're using a 12 gauge Benelli or Beretta shotgun and seeking to unlock its full potential with TSS, the Carlson's 38010 TSS Turkey Choke Tube is an indispensable upgrade designed to deliver unparalleled pattern density and extended range.

This isn't just another choke tube; it's a meticulously engineered tool crafted specifically for the unique characteristics of TSS ammunition. It addresses the common frustrations hunters face with inconsistent patterns, limited effective range, and the inability to fully leverage the advantages of modern high-density shot. Are you asking yourself, "What is the best choke for TSS turkey loads?" or "How do I get tighter patterns with my 12 gauge Benelli or Beretta?" The Carlson's 38010 is precisely the answer.

Why a Specialized TSS Choke Tube is Essential for Your 12 Gauge Turkey Gun

Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) has revolutionized turkey hunting. Composed of tungsten alloy, TSS boasts a density significantly higher than traditional lead or even heavier-than-lead shot. This increased density means smaller pellets carry more energy and maintain velocity over greater distances, allowing for incredibly effective long-range shots with a reduced pellet size. However, to maximize the performance of these advanced loads, your shotgun needs a choke tube specifically designed to handle them.

Standard full or extra-full chokes, while effective for lead, often don't provide the optimal constriction or internal geometry required to create the dense, uniform patterns necessary for TSS. The harder, non-deforming TSS pellets require a choke that guides them efficiently without causing excessive friction or "blowing" the pattern. The Carlson's 38010 is engineered with this in mind, ensuring that every pellet is delivered with maximum efficiency towards your target. It's the difference between a sparse pattern and a head-and-neck obliterating swarm.

Unpacking the Carlson's 38010: Features That Deliver Performance

The Carlson's 38010 TSS Turkey Choke Tube stands out due to its thoughtful design and superior materials, purpose-built for the rigors of turkey season.

• Premium 17-4 Stainless Steel Construction: Durability is paramount in hunting gear. This choke tube is machined from high-grade 17-4 stainless steel, renowned for its exceptional strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. This material choice ensures the choke can withstand the intense pressures and abrasion of high-velocity TSS loads without degradation, shot after shot, season after season. It means your investment is protected and reliable when you need it most.
• Optimized Internal Geometry and .660 Constriction: The heart of any choke tube lies in its internal tapering. The Carlson's 38010 features a precisely engineered internal taper culminating in a .660 constriction. This specific constriction is widely recognized as ideal for compressing TSS pellets into incredibly tight, devastating patterns. It ensures that the high pellet count of TSS loads translates into a lethal concentration of shot at extended ranges, maximizing your chances for a clean, ethical harvest.
• Sleek Black Finish: Beyond its functional benefits, the choke tube features a durable black finish. This not only provides an aesthetic match for most shotguns but also offers an additional layer of protection against the elements, preventing rust and wear in the field.
• Designed for 12 Gauge Benelli/Beretta MobilChoke Systems: Compatibility is key. This choke tube is specifically threaded to fit 12 gauge Benelli and Beretta shotguns that utilize the MobilChoke system. This includes a wide array of popular models such as the Benelli Nova, SuperNova, M1, M2, M3, M4, Super Black Eagle, Super Black Eagle II, and Super Black Eagle 3, as well as Beretta A300 Outlander, A300 Ultima, A400 series, 686, and others. This broad compatibility makes it a go-to choice for countless turkey hunters.
• Easy Installation and Removal: Despite its robust construction, the Carlson's 38010 is designed for user-friendliness. It can be easily installed and removed using a standard choke wrench (not included), allowing for quick changes if different shot types or constrictions are desired for other hunting applications.

Elevating Your Turkey Hunting Experience: Real-World Use Cases and Outcomes

Imagine yourself in the pre-dawn silence of the spring woods, a wary gobbler answering your calls from a distance. With the Carlson's 38010 TSS Turkey Choke Tube installed in your 12 gauge Benelli or Beretta, you gain confidence that translates directly into successful hunts.

• Long-Range Engagement: Many turkey hunts involve challenging shots beyond typical distances. While ethical shot distance always depends on individual skill and patterning, this choke tube significantly extends your effective range with TSS loads. That gobbler hanging up at 50 or even 60 yards, previously a missed opportunity, now becomes a viable target, thanks to the incredibly dense patterns delivered by the .660 constriction and TSS loads.
• Precision and Ethical Kills: The primary goal of any hunter is a quick, ethical harvest. By concentrating a high pellet count into a small, vital area, the Carlson's 38010 minimizes the chance of wounding and maximizes the likelihood of a clean kill. This isn't just about bagging a bird; it's about respecting the animal and ensuring minimal suffering.
• Versatility within Turkey Season: While optimized for TSS, the consistency and quality of this choke tube make it a reliable choice throughout the season, whether you're ambushing a gobbler or calling him in close.
• Confidence in Every Shot: Knowing your equipment is optimized for the task at hand instills immense confidence. This choke tube eliminates pattern inconsistencies, allowing you to focus on your calling, camouflage, and shot placement. When that moment of truth arrives, you'll know your shotgun is ready.

Optimizing Your Shotgun's Performance: Tips for the Hunter

To truly maximize the benefits of your Carlson's 38010 TSS Turkey Choke Tube, consider these important practices:

1. Pattern Your Shotgun: This is non-negotiable. Before heading to the woods, take your shotgun to the range and pattern it with the exact TSS loads you intend to hunt with. Shoot at various distances (e.g., 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 yards) to understand your shotgun's effective range and identify its most lethal patterns. Each shotgun and ammunition combination is unique, and patterning reveals its true capabilities.
2. Experiment with Different TSS Loads (if necessary): While the .660 constriction is highly effective, subtle differences exist between TSS loads from various manufacturers (e.g., pellet size, velocity). If your initial patterning isn't perfect, try a different brand or pellet size of TSS to find the ultimate combination for your setup.
3. Clean Your Choke Tube Regularly: After each hunting trip or extensive range session, remove and thoroughly clean your choke tube. Carbon and plastic wad residue can build up, potentially affecting performance over time. A clean choke ensures consistent patterns and extends the lifespan of your equipment.
4. Secure Installation: Always ensure your choke tube is properly seated and tightened before firing. A loose choke can lead to damage or inconsistent patterns.
