Engineered for Excellence: The Core of the Bone Buster's Design

The secret to the Carlson's Bismuth Bone Buster's exceptional performance lies in its thoughtful design and premium construction. It represents a significant leap forward from conventional factory choke tubes, offering distinct advantages that translate directly into improved field results.

• Premium Material for Enduring Performance: Crafted from 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel, this choke tube is built to withstand the rigors of demanding hunting conditions. What does 17-4 stainless steel mean for you?
  • Exceptional Durability: This alloy is renowned for its strength and hardness, ensuring the choke tube can endure countless shots without deforming or degrading.
  • Superior Corrosion Resistance: Hunting often involves exposure to harsh elements like water, mud, and fluctuating temperatures. The stainless steel construction provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, extending the life of your choke tube.
  • Consistent Performance: The inherent stability of 17-4 stainless steel means the choke's internal dimensions remain consistent, shot after shot, season after season, ensuring reliable patterning.
• The Advantage of a Longer Parallel Section: One of the most critical design features of the Bismuth Bone Buster is its significantly longer parallel section compared to standard choke tubes. This extended internal geometry plays a pivotal role in pattern optimization:
  • Reduced Shot Deformation: As the shot column travels through the choke, a longer parallel section allows the pellets to stabilize and align more effectively before exiting the barrel. This minimizes pellet deformation, leading to a higher percentage of perfectly round pellets.
  • Tighter, More Uniform Patterns: By reducing flyer pellets and ensuring more consistent pellet shape, the longer parallel section creates patterns that are not only denser but also more uniform across the spread. This translates to more pellets on target within a smaller area, increasing your chances of a clean, ethical harvest.
  • Enhanced Effective Range: Denser, more uniform patterns inherently extend your shotgun's effective range, giving you confidence in taking shots that might otherwise be considered marginal with lesser choke tubes.
• Meticulous CNC Precision Machining: Every Carlson's Bismuth Bone Buster choke tube undergoes CNC (Computer Numerical Control) precision machining. This advanced manufacturing process ensures:
  • Unparalleled Accuracy: CNC machines produce components with incredibly tight tolerances, guaranteeing that each choke tube conforms precisely to its intended specifications.
  • Consistent Quality: This precision ensures that every choke tube delivers the same high level of performance, eliminating variability from one unit to the next.
  • Optimal Fit and Function: The precise machining guarantees a perfect fit within your Benelli or Beretta MobilChoke system, ensuring secure installation and reliable operation.

Unleashing Devastating Patterns: Ammunition Compatibility and Performance

The Carlson's Bismuth Bone Buster is specifically designed to excel with modern ammunition, particularly bismuth loads, while retaining broad compatibility with other popular shot types.

• Optimized for Bismuth Ammunition: Bismuth shot, an increasingly popular alternative to lead and steel, offers excellent density and ballistic performance. However, its unique properties require a choke tube specifically designed to handle it for optimal results. The Bone Buster is engineered to produce excellent, dense patterns with all bismuth ammunition, harnessing its full potential for ethical kills. Its design protects the shot while guiding it for maximum pattern efficiency.
• Versatility with Lead and Hevi-Shot Loads: While specifically optimized for bismuth, the utility of this choke tube extends far beyond. It can be used with all lead and Hevi-Shot loads, making it an incredibly versatile choice for various hunting scenarios. Whether you're chasing upland birds with lead or require the superior density of Hevi-Shot for challenging conditions, this choke tube delivers consistent, reliable patterns.
• Steel Shot Compatibility (Up to #2): For hunters in areas requiring steel shot, the Extended Range constriction of this choke tube is safe for use with all steel shot not larger than #2. This ensures broad utility across different hunting regulations and preferences, solidifying its position as a multi-purpose workhorse for your 20-gauge shotgun.

Addressing Common Hunter Questions and Scenarios

Hunters frequently ask how to improve their success rates, extend their range, and adapt to varying ammunition types. The Carlson's Bismuth Bone Buster directly answers many of these practical questions:

• "How do I get tighter patterns for waterfowl?" The combination of the longer parallel section and the .040 Extended Range constriction is engineered to produce the dense, bone-crushing patterns necessary for clean kills on waterfowl, even at greater distances.
• "What choke is best for bismuth shot?" This choke tube is explicitly designed and extensively tested with various bismuth loads to deliver optimal pattern density and uniformity, making it an ideal choice.
• "Can I use one choke for different types of hunting?" Its broad compatibility with bismuth, lead, Hevi-Shot, and steel shot (up to #2) makes it highly versatile, allowing you to switch between waterfowl, upland, and even some predator hunting scenarios without changing chokes.
• "My factory choke patterns aren't consistent. What can I do?" The precision machining and advanced design of the Bismuth Bone Buster minimize shot deformation and improve pellet alignment, leading to significantly more consistent and reliable patterns than many conventional factory chokes.
• "Is this choke compatible with my Benelli/Beretta shotgun?" Yes, this model is specifically designed for shotguns utilizing the popular MobilChoke system, common in many Benelli and Beretta 20-gauge firearms. This ensures a seamless and secure fit.

The "Bone Buster" Experience: Tangible Benefits for the Hunter

The name "Bone Buster" isn't just a marketing term; it reflects the tangible outcomes hunters can expect when deploying this choke tube.

• Enhanced Knockdown Power: By concentrating more pellets within a tighter pattern, the Bismuth Bone Buster significantly increases the energy delivered to the target, resulting in superior knockdown power and more humane, ethical kills.
• Increased Confidence: Knowing your shotgun is performing at its peak, delivering consistent, dense patterns, instills greater confidence in your shooting ability, especially in challenging hunting situations.
• Reduced Crippling Losses: Tighter, more uniform patterns minimize the likelihood of wounding game, leading to fewer crippled birds and more successful retrievals, aligning with responsible hunting practices.
