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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 GA Birdshot | 1-2 | Birds and small game | |
| 10 GA Buckshot | 4-7 | Close-range small to medium game | |
| 10 GA Slug | 6-9 | Bigger animals at short to medium range |
Notes: Semi-auto 10 gauge for wetlands/waterfowl and big game at close range.

How to Use the Strandberg 10SA Executive
- Switch shells to fit the animal: birdshot for birds and small game, buckshot for close medium game, slugs for bigger animals at short to medium range.
- With birdshot, swing through the bird and keep the gun moving as you fire; most misses are behind.
- Keep slug and buckshot shots close. Shotgun loads lose energy fast past their effective range.
- Carry two shell types so you can take whatever walks into a zone.
- Big game: it reaches class 9, so it can stop dangerous animals. Keep a follow-up shot ready on bears, big cats and buffalo.
- Small game: its lightest load covers class 1, so it doubles as a small-game gun without ruining pelts.
