About
What it is, and why it matters
The Kolar Max Clays is a high-grade American over/under competition shotgun built by Kolar Arms of Racine, Wisconsin for sporting clays and other clay-target disciplines. Chambered in 12 gauge, it uses a break-action design with hammer-forged 4140 barrels, extended forcing cones with titanium choke tubes, and a mechanical coil-spring interlock trigger housed in a removable trigger group. It is offered with 30- or 32-inch barrels, fixed or adjustable ribs, and highly configurable English walnut stocks with a six-way adjustable comb.
Kolar Arms began as a precision CNC machining company in Racine, Wisconsin before applying that engineering to build one of the most sought-after American-made competition over/unders, favored on sporting clays and trap ranges for its tight tolerances and interchangeable trigger groups.
Weight varies with wood density and configuration; competition sporting Max models typically run around 8.5 lb (~3,860 g). The Max is offered on Classic Action and Round Action receivers, and matched-weight sub-gauge carrier barrel sets (20, 28, .410) and AAA sub-gauge inserts are available.

Trajectory
What the round does downrange
Solved from the muzzle figures and the bullet. The dashed rule is the effective range on the record, and the crosses are the steps the solver returned.
No load solved for this record yetThe flight path is computed from a cartridge and a bullet. This record has no ammunition filed against its chambering, so there is nothing to solve.
