they buzzed with 55mA as choke input for me.
there was someone on here that was using a vice to crimp the frame who reported good results. I never tried it.
I will agree the c40x is a great sized choke but I never made one work without buzzing in the L1 position.
hamnmond 159zb is up to the job and similar cost. bigger hunk of iron. I ran them at 80-100mA without an issue.
...and now I"m playing with push pull and L-critical choke input. :)
I've been happy with 1H and 10-20ohms.. I know it's not your thing, but... :P
