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: Community-chosen; large and dangerous game.

What It Can Hunt

All 20 species inside the Vallgarda .375’s class range, heaviest first. Animals with their own guide are linked.

Where it shines: the top of its range, class 9: Banteng, Bengal Tiger, Cape Buffalo, European Bison. It is also legal on the Great One species Moose, Black Bear.

Best Reserves for the Vallgarda .375

The reserves where the biggest share of animals falls inside this weapon’s class range, so you can carry it all day:

How to Use the Vallgarda .375

  • 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.
