Ammo and Class Ranges
In Call of the Wild the ammo, not the gun, decides what you can take: each load is rated for a band of animal classes. Use a load inside the animal’s class to pass the harvest check and keep the trophy.
| Load | Class range | Classes | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| .22 Mag ammo (Jacketed Hollow-Point / Hollow-Point) | 1-2 | Expanding: big wound, best on broadside shots |
Notes: Lever-action, tubular magazine; small game, ~125 m.
What It Can Hunt
All 58 species inside the Anantha Action .22 Mag’s class range, heaviest first. Animals with their own guide are linked.

Best Reserves for the Anantha Action .22 Mag
The reserves where the biggest share of animals falls inside this weapon’s class range, so you can carry it all day:
- Salzwiesen Park: 15 of 15 species in range.

How to Use the Anantha Action .22 Mag
- Pick the load by the animal’s class first, then by shot angle: expanding loads (soft-point, hollow-point) for broadside shots, penetrating loads (polymer-tip, FMJ) for quartering and frontal shots or animals at the top of the class band.
- Aim for the heart and lungs just behind the front leg. A clean lung or heart shot passes the harvest check and keeps trophy integrity.
- Zero your scope for the distances you actually shoot on that reserve, and use the rangefinder before long shots.
- Shoot from a rest or prone when you can; it steadies the reticle far more than standing.
- Small game: its lightest load covers class 1, so it doubles as a small-game gun without ruining pelts.
