A: You will need to submit a New Dealer Information Request which is found on our Become a Dealer link at the bottom of the page.
A: Our tubes are named for their intended game usage, but that doesn't limit them to only those types of game. You will find that they're extremely versatile.
A: These tubes are the same in design and are named according to the areas they are used in.
A: Yes! The only exception is we do not recommend steel with Patternmaster Code Black Turkey and Anaconda Striker tubes.

A: The Code Black and Classic tubes are the same in design, with the main difference being the coating (Classic has a silver or black finish, whereas the Code Black has a bronze finish, and the Code Black Snow Plow tubes have a silver finish and strong bond white powder coat).
A: Patternmaster and Ballistics Performance, LLC has put the tubes through an enormous amount of testing. We have found that ammunition running faster than 1550fps will not perform as well as slower ammunition. Patternmaster tubes, with the patented stud ring, are designed to grab the base of the plastic wad in your ammo and hold it for a millisecond while the shot leaves the barrel ahead of the wad. When ammo is running faster than 1550fps, the studs do not get a chance to engage on the plastic wad, in turn reducing the effectiveness of the tube and increasing the pattern size.
A: If your current tube is not listed for the specific gun you're using, you can contact us Via phone at 1(877)388-2259 to verify. We recommend only using tubes designed specifically for your gun.
A: No two firearms are identical. Every gun/tube/ammunition combination could perform differently. We recommend testing out different combinations to see what performs best for your specific scenario.
A: Due to the twist on ammo when it hits the patented Patternmaster stud ring, there may be a loosening of the tube. We recommend using white Teflon plumbers/pipe tape on the threads before installation or your favorite brand of tube lube.
A: You can use Black Cloud ammunition with Patternmaster tubes designed for steel shot.
A: Steel doesn't compress and there's no steel shot small enough to pass through without causing damage to the tube.
