Understanding the Power of a Shotgun Choke Tube

Before diving into the specifics of this exceptional EAR Inc. choke, let's establish a foundational understanding. What exactly is a shotgun choke tube, and why is it so vital for shotgun performance? A choke tube is a removable, interchangeable constriction at the muzzle end of a shotgun barrel. Its primary function is to control the spread of the shot pellets as they exit the barrel. Different levels of constriction, from Cylinder (no constriction) to Extra Full, dictate how tightly the shot pattern holds together over various distances.

Choosing the right choke is paramount for ethical hunting, consistent target breaking, and ensuring the safety of your firearm. An improperly chosen choke can lead to missed shots, wounded game, or even damage to your barrel, particularly when using specific ammunition types like steel shot. The EAR Inc. High Voltage Rem Choke is designed for those demanding maximum pattern retention at extended ranges, making it an indispensable tool for specialized shooting scenarios.

Why Opt for an Extra Full Choke? Precision at Distance

The Extra Full choke represents one of the tightest constrictions available for a shotgun, and the EAR Inc. .575 constriction pushes the boundaries of this category for 20 gauge. This level of constriction is specifically engineered to keep your shot pattern as compact as possible over longer distances, delivering a highly concentrated payload.

So, when would you choose an Extra Full choke over a more open constriction like Modified or Full?

• Turkey Hunting: This is arguably the most common and crucial application for an Extra Full choke. When hunting turkeys, the goal is often a precise head and neck shot at varying ranges. An Extra Full choke ensures a dense, lethal pattern at distances where a less restrictive choke would scatter too widely. The .575 constriction on this EAR Inc. choke provides the pinpoint accuracy needed for these critical shots.
• Long-Range Waterfowl: While regulations and ethical considerations are paramount, in situations where extended-range shots at waterfowl are necessary and permissible, an Extra Full choke can help maintain sufficient pellet energy and density. However, it is crucial to verify compatibility with steel shot or other non-toxic shot types, as tight constrictions can be problematic with certain loads.
• Specific Competitive Shooting Disciplines: In certain trap or sporting clays presentations where a very long shot is required, an Extra Full choke might be employed by skilled shooters to gain a competitive edge. This allows for breaking targets that are significantly further out than standard distances.
• Specialty Ammunition: Some specialized loads, particularly those designed for maximum payload or specific pellet types, perform optimally with tighter chokes.

The primary problem an Extra Full choke solves is the need for unparalleled pattern density and range. If you've ever felt your patterns were too open at distance, leading to frustrating misses or inconsistent performance, this EAR Inc. choke tube offers a definitive solution.

Introducing the EAR Inc. High Voltage Rem Choke: A Deep Dive into its Features

The EAR Inc. JPCBN20A2/580 High Voltage Rem Choke is a testament to advanced engineering and material science, crafted to meet the rigorous demands of serious shooters. Let's break down its key attributes:

High Voltage Technology: Powering Performance and Durability

The "High Voltage" designation from EAR Inc. is not just a name; it signifies a proprietary manufacturing process or advanced material composition that enhances the choke tube's performance and longevity. While specific metallurgical details are often proprietary, this technology typically implies:

• Exceptional Hardness: The choke is designed to withstand the immense pressures and friction generated by modern shotgun loads, resisting deformation and wear. This translates to consistent patterning over thousands of rounds.
• Superior Heat Dissipation: Efficiently manages heat buildup, which can be critical during extended shooting sessions, preventing pattern degradation due to thermal expansion.
• Consistent Patterning: The "High Voltage" process contributes to a micro-smooth internal surface and precise dimensional stability, ensuring that every shot exits the barrel with optimal pattern uniformity and density. This precision is what allows for repeatable, accurate shots at long ranges.

For the user, this means less concern about choke tube degradation, more consistent patterns, and a reliable performance edge in demanding environments.

Black Nitride Finish: The Ultimate in Protection and Aesthetics

The Black Nitride finish is a significant feature that speaks volumes about the choke's durability and maintenance. Nitriding is a thermochemical process that diffuses nitrogen into the surface of the metal, creating an extremely hard, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant surface.

• Unmatched Corrosion Resistance: Shotgun environments can be harsh, involving exposure to moisture, gunpowder residue, and even saltwater. The Black Nitride finish provides a robust barrier against rust and corrosion, ensuring your choke tube remains in pristine condition for years.
• Enhanced Wear Resistance: This hardened surface significantly reduces friction as shot passes through, minimizing wear on the choke itself and maintaining its precise constriction over time. This also contributes to cleaner patterns by reducing fliers caused by uneven friction.
• Low Maintenance: The smooth, durable surface makes cleaning effortless. Fouling has less opportunity to adhere, meaning less scrubbing and more shooting.
• Stealthy Aesthetics: Beyond its functional benefits, the deep black finish provides a sleek, non-reflective appearance that complements most shotgun barrels.

.575 Constriction: Pinpoint Precision for 20 Gauge

The .575 constriction for a 20 gauge shotgun falls firmly into the Extra Full category, providing one of the tightest patterns commercially available. To put this in perspective, a standard 20 gauge bore is typically around .615 to .625 inches. A .575 constriction means the choke narrows the bore by approximately .040 to .050 inches, significantly tightening the shot column. This level of precision is engineered to deliver:

• Maximum Pattern Density: Concentrates the highest percentage of pellets into a tight core pattern at 30, 40, and even 50+ yards.
• Extended Effective Range: Enables hunters and shooters to ethically take shots at distances that would be impractical or impossible with more open chokes.
• Specific Pellet Count: For applications like turkey hunting, this constriction ensures enough pellets hit the vital zone (head/neck) for a clean, humane kill.

20 Gauge Advantage: Lighter, Faster, More Maneuverable

While 12 gauge shotguns are popular, the 20 gauge offers distinct advantages that make it a favorite for many, especially when paired with a high-performance choke like this EAR Inc. model.

• Lighter Recoil: Generally, 20 gauge loads produce less recoil than comparable 12 gauge loads, making for a more comfortable shooting experience, especially during extended sessions or for smaller-framed shooters.
• Lighter Firearms: 20 gauge shotguns are typically lighter and more compact, enhancing maneuverability in dense cover or when trekking long distances.
• Sufficient Power: With modern ammunition technology and an optimized choke like the EAR Inc. Extra Full, the 20 gauge is more than capable of handling a wide range of hunting and target shooting tasks. This choke truly unlocks the 20 gauge's full potential for long-range performance.

Rem Choke Compatibility: Broad Applicability

The Rem Choke designation means this choke tube is compatible with shotguns that accept the Remington Choke system. This includes popular models such as the Remington 870, Remington 1100, and Remington 11-87, among others. This widespread compatibility ensures that a vast number of 20 gauge shotgun owners can easily upgrade their firearm with this premium EAR Inc. choke, without needing to acquire specialized tools or modifications beyond a standard choke wrench. This makes it a highly accessible upgrade for many existing shotgun owners looking to enhance their capabilities.

Who Is This Choke Tube For? Real-World Applications Explored

The EAR Inc. High Voltage Rem Choke (20 Gauge Extra Full .575) is a specialist's tool, designed for situations where precision and dense patterns are paramount.

For the Avid Turkey Hunter:

If your passion is chasing gobblers, this choke tube is a game-changer. Turkey hunting demands extreme accuracy to ensure a humane and effective harvest, typically aiming for the head and neck. Standard full chokes often leave too large a pattern at typical turkey hunting ranges (20-40 yards). The .575 Extra Full constriction delivers a tightly packed swarm of pellets, significantly increasing your chances of hitting the kill zone. Imagine the confidence of knowing your pattern holds true, even as that wary tom stretches his neck at 35 yards. Many turkey hunters meticulously pattern their shotguns, and this EAR Inc. choke is designed to excel in those tests, consistently putting more pellets where they count.

For the Long-Range Waterfowl Enthusiast:

While close-range decoying is ideal, there are situations, especially with larger birds like geese or in certain field scenarios, where a longer shot is necessary. For those challenging shots where ethical ranges are extended, an Extra Full choke can help maintain the required pellet energy and pattern density. It is crucial to re-emphasize the importance of checking manufacturer specifications for both the choke and your ammunition regarding steel shot or other non-toxic loads with such a tight constriction. Some very tight chokes are not rated for all non-toxic shot types.

For the Competitive Trap and Sporting Clays Shooter:

While not an everyday choke for all clay target games, the EAR Inc. Extra Full can be a valuable asset in specific competitive situations. In trap shooting, particularly on second shots in handicap or doubles events, targets can be at extreme distances. Similarly, certain sporting clays stations are set up with very long crossers or outgoing birds that benefit from a concentrated pattern. For the shooter who understands pattern dynamics and tailors their equipment for maximum advantage, this choke offers a unique edge. It allows for breaking targets that others might deem unreachable with more open constrictions.

For the Dedicated Shotgun Performance Seeker:

Beyond specific hunting or competitive scenarios, this choke is for anyone who desires to truly maximize their 20 gauge shotgun's patterning potential. If you're passionate about fine-tuning your firearm, experimenting with different loads, and achieving the tightest possible groups on paper, the EAR Inc. High Voltage Rem Choke is an essential piece of equipment. It allows you to push the boundaries of your shotgun's capabilities, leading to a deeper understanding of its performance and your own shooting proficiency.

Optimizing Your Shotgun's Performance with an EAR Choke

Acquiring a top-tier choke like the EAR Inc. High Voltage Extra Full is just the first step. To truly unlock its potential, consider these optimization strategies:

1. Patterning Your Shotgun: The Essential Step

Regardless of how advanced your choke tube is, you must pattern your shotgun with your chosen ammunition. This involves shooting at large paper targets at various distances (e.g., 20, 30, 40 yards) to see exactly where your gun shoots and how densely the pellets are distributed. This process helps you:

• Identify Your Point of Impact: Does your gun shoot exactly where you aim, or slightly high/low/left/right?
• Visualize Pattern Density: How many pellets are hitting within a 30-inch circle at a given distance? This is crucial for determining ethical hunting ranges.
• Ammunition Match: Different loads, even from the same manufacturer, can pattern differently through the same choke. Patterning helps you find the perfect ammunition match for your EAR Inc. choke.

2. Ammunition Selection for Extra Full Chokes

With an Extra Full choke, ammunition choice becomes even more critical.

• Pellet Size: Smaller pellet sizes (e.g., #5, #6, #7.5 lead for turkey) generally pattern better through tight chokes than very large pellets (#00 Buck, slugs - never use slugs with an extra full choke).
• Wad Design: Wads designed to protect pellets and pass smoothly through tight constrictions will yield better patterns.
• Consistency: Invest in high-quality, consistent ammunition. Variation in loads will be magnified by the tight constriction.
• Non-Toxic Shot: If using steel, bismuth, or other non-toxic shot, always consult the choke manufacturer's guidelines. For Extra Full constrictions like this .575, some manufacturers advise against steel shot, or only permit specific types of softer, slower steel shot, to prevent choke damage. The Black Nitride coating helps with durability, but the constriction itself is the primary factor. Err on the side of caution.

3. Maintenance and Care for Longevity

The Black Nitride finish makes this choke exceptionally low maintenance, but proper care still ensures decades of reliable performance:

• Regular Cleaning: After each shooting session, remove the choke tube and thoroughly clean it, along with the internal threads of your barrel. Powder residue can build up, leading to corrosion or making the choke difficult to remove over time.
• Anti-Seize Lubricant: Apply a thin layer of anti-seize compound or choke tube grease to the threads of the choke before screwing it back into the barrel. This prevents seizing, especially in humid conditions or if the choke is left in for extended periods.
• Inspect for Damage: Periodically inspect the choke tube for any signs of wear, pitting, or deformation, especially after extensive use or if you suspect you've used an incompatible load.

Addressing Common Questions about Choke Tubes

Users often have specific questions when considering a high-performance choke tube. Here are some common inquiries addressed:

Q: How does a choke tube improve accuracy?

A: A choke tube doesn't necessarily improve "accuracy" in the rifle sense of hitting a precise point. Instead, it improves "pattern density" or "consistency." By constricting the shot column, it prevents the pellets from spreading out too quickly after exiting the barrel. This means more pellets hit a smaller area at longer distances, increasing the probability of hitting your target effectively. For a turkey hunter, it means more pellets on the head/neck; for a clay shooter, more pellets to break the target.

Q: What's the practical difference between a Full choke and an Extra Full choke like this .575?

A: While both are tight constrictions, an Extra Full (especially one as tight as .575) will produce a noticeably denser and typically smaller pattern at longer ranges compared to a standard Full choke. A Full choke usually puts about 70% of its pellets in a 30-inch circle at 40 yards. An Extra Full aims to concentrate an even higher percentage (often 80% or more for certain loads) into that circle, or to put a denser pattern into a smaller effective kill zone (like a turkey's head) at similar distances. The practical difference is often measured in a few extra effective yards of range or a higher pellet count on a vital area, which can be critical for success.

Q: Can I use steel shot with this choke?

A: While the Black Nitride finish offers excellent durability, the .575 Extra Full constriction for a 20 gauge is very tight. Using steel shot, which is harder than lead, through such a tight choke can potentially damage the choke tube or even bulge the barrel, especially with larger steel shot sizes or high-velocity loads. It is absolutely crucial to consult the manufacturer's specific recommendations for the EAR Inc. High Voltage Rem Choke (UPC: 812165030580) regarding steel or other non-toxic shot compatibility. Many manufacturers advise against steel shot with Extra Full chokes, or only permit specific, softer, smaller steel shot at lower velocities. Always err on the side of caution and follow the manufacturer's explicit guidelines to ensure safety and prevent damage.

Q: How often should I clean my choke tube?

A: For optimal performance and longevity, it's recommended to clean your choke tube after every significant shooting session. This prevents the buildup of carbon and plastic fouling, which can fuse to the choke over time, making it difficult to remove and potentially causing corrosion or pattern inconsistency. Applying anti-seize lubricant to the threads after cleaning also ensures easy removal for future maintenance.
