Remington hypersonic steel busting choke tubes?

[NICKDCI]

Has anybody else heard of this? I have a foiles tube in my xtrema 2. I have been shooting hypersonic all goose and duck season 3" #2's and bb. All of the sudden my tube was tight unlike before when i could loosen it when ever i wanted with my fingers.
I took it out with a tool and it was a pain to get out. It seems the tube swelled up above the threads. Once I got it out it didnt want to go back in like the choke was to big. I grabbed a stock tube and it went right in nice.

What would you guys think?
Could it be the choke or the shells?

Did you crank down on the tube when you put it in?? A tube should be installed finger tight. Did the barrel buldge??

What kind of gun? Had the same thing happen a few years ago with and Extrema and Patternmaster shooting 1625 Kents in BB.

" we've had a couple calls into the shop with problems with chokes and barrels...also had calls into shop about breaking other chokes as well....we don't reccomended it for our choke, nor does patternmaster "
