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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7.62x35mm Soft-Point | 3-6 | Expanding: big wound, best on broadside shots | |
| 7.62x35mm Polymer-Tip | 3-6 | Penetrating: angled shots and the top of the class band |
Notes: Fast reload, good hip-fire, large magazine. Calibre per community guides; store page only says '.300'.

How to Use the Fors Elite .300
- 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.
