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.

Notes: Long-range precision bolt-action, detachable 5-rd magazine.

How to Use the Tsurugi LRR .338

• 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.
• Big game: it reaches class 9, so it can stop dangerous animals. Keep a follow-up shot ready on bears, big cats and buffalo.
