The "tightness" of a choke is basically meaningless. The cremator chokes are designed to pattern with steel shot. The Bone Buster is designed to pattern with bismuth. Both "Mid-range" chokes will pattern the same as each other with the respective ammo, steel or bismuth, regardless of constriction. Not every ammo type shoots the same out of a certain constriction.
I have a cremator mid range and close range. Most of my shots are inside 30 yards and the close range choke is perfect. I also struggle to get a decent pattern with the mid range out of a maxus 2 shooting number 2 shot. Shooting number 4 its solid. I ended up selling the maxus 2 and just went back to the original maxus and I get a solid pattern with the Mid range in both # 2 and #4 shot.
maybe just inconsistent ammo. id have a hard time condemning a choke if its dimensions are true. try more of the same ammo and then switch to another brand. not uncommon for powder to differ by alot in the same box of cheap stuff. i did enjoy the video though, keep up the good work.
You are one of the few that actually uses a pattern for what it is meant to be, I shoot a lot of paper at my desired yardage thinking of 10 yards over or under and getting that even pattern is a challenge . I want to use my 30 inch pattern to break a clay or hit a bird with all of my pattern just not dead center. It seems you have the same kind of idea of not using a shotgun for clays and birds with all of the density dead center, Well done
An even pattern (no hot spots or holes) with enough density to ensure a one shot kill 100% of the time inside a certain distance. One choke for timber hole hunting and one for 40+ yards. Look at the patterns from my previous video and the patterns that the Benelli SBE3 produced with the factory chokes. Limited out both days with that combination.
Great info. Straight and to the point. I was looking at the Cremator over my factory choke. Thanks👍
Great video follow up from your previous choke test video. I enjoyed the choke measurement demonstration. Very informative video!
Thanks. Carlson’s Mid range Cremator produced an even, 94% pattern at 25 yards.

Try muller choke tubes
You might want to try compnchoke works well with steel
What are you looking to achieve for a pattern?
