More Ammo Types | theHunter: Call of the Wild | Page 1

I believe that the game needs more types of ammo, not just soft points and polymer tips. For example, the .30-30 is a wildly underpowered rifle caliber. But there are different types of ammo. I have seen “varmint load” for a 30-30 and even i big enough game load for elk. So I believe instead of the 2 ammo types them by boxes with the loads could be better. Possibly the Developers could get licensed with brands like, Remington arms, Winchester, and federal for more ammunition types. If you agree, hit that 👍🏻 button!

I think High load would work for mid-high calibers as well.

I just hate how some calibers are OP but good IRL calibers Aren’t.

High loads would be a night and day difference,something like .30-06 would preform completely differently than the ingame version (while being easy enough to introduce.

Buffalo bore makes some crazy good .30-30 ammo, I bought a box of this stuff to try out and it's an absolute beast. Took down a Hereford bull with a lung shot at 207 yards and shattered the scapula doing it

Meat. the farmer asked if i'd kill one for him so we could butcher it and I asked if I could try it with the .30-30, he said sure

yeah nothing special, but considering that's their ** light** load for the caliber it's very impressive

This game has had 5 years of progression and they haven't touched any of the base game calibers since release. It makes it hard to want to use any base game gun except the .243. I'd love to use the Whitlock .30-30 more but its so weak it just feels pathetic and useless

Yes! I hunt with 30-30 IRL and can drop deer. It cant hurt anything in the game.

topaz cape Yes! I hunt with 30-30 IRL and can drop deer. It cant hurt anything in the game.

I've used this .30-30 for 15 years now, deer hogs and black bear have all dropped stone dead with one shot (to be fair, I handload 170 grain hardcast semi-wadcutters) but IT IS NOT A SMALL GAME GUN people do not hunt foxes with a .30-30 and if they shoot a coyote its because it was a chance shot while they hunted deer

topaz cape Jan 28, 2024, 4:20 PM

#

Got these 2 from my grandfather. They have killed many hogs and whitetail. I know the 94 has killed coyotes because I had it in my sxs and saw one close to my goats. 80 yards iron sight’s dropped it. But I would never go out and hunt one with it. Only if it is going after livestock or I see it while deer hunting.

They need to get the bullet penetration right. In real life, soft point bullets have much more penetration than any polymer tip bullets . In the end, they both expand about the same.

topaz cape Jan 28, 2024, 4:55 PM

#

They need to do it by grains in the ammo and not the bullet itself

mental hill Jan 28, 2024, 6:13 PM

#

I'd rather have three types for each weapon. With my .30-30 I use three different weights, 150 for deer/pronghorn size animals, 170 for larger deer and hogs, then 196 for black bear and elk (it's a Lee mold I ordered custom, fits my action with a fraction of space left over but it's dead reliable)

topaz cape Jan 28, 2024, 6:18 PM

#

That’s like how you can get pretty big grained .223 along with varmit loads.

topaz cape Jan 29, 2024, 12:41 AM

#

Also if you could buy ammo buy 100x 50x or 25x

For me, the 30-30 or 30-06

Apparently, .45-70 is getting a change with the High Caliber weapon pack coming soon so hopefully they actually made it right this time.

Anyway, A third ammo type for each weapon would be really nice to have. For the lever action rifles it could literally be High Velocity rounds. .30-30 has polymer tipped ammo IRL (LeveRevolution) that's extremely effective on black bears
.30-06 could do heavy-for-caliber Round Nose ammo (based on a hard cast 200gr. bullet) for higher pen
.300 could be made 4-8 with Copper Alloy rounds (Based on the lighter BTHP bullets used for deer and such in the Western US)
.270 could have light Soft Point Round Nose bullets for 3-7 classes (basically it's just a lighter soft point round so it can be used on roe deer)

Yep those lines of Hornandy ammunition, I’ve used various calibers and the results are devastating for internal organ systems. .44s to .30-30s. 🏆

I usually prefer a .270 cartridge from a Browning BLR for deer the most, but so far but those LeveRevolution lines in different calibers have resulted in immediate shock, death, and no take off. Including those (neck) swollen-up bucks mid stride behind a doe during rut.

UPDATE: the .45-70, the caliber used to decimate the plains bison population in North America, IS NOT FOR BISON APPARENTLY
