375:
Drops everything it touches as expected. Make it 6-9 it will be perfect.
•Re-Class to 6-9 👌

450BM:
Performs closely to the real deal & I'm pretty happy with it except its 4-7. Make it 3-7 so we can hunt Roe Deer & Pronghorn (Class 3) and it'll be perfect. Though I think 300m max zero is excessive for a medium range caliber?!
•Re-Class to 3-7 👌

7.62x35 (300blk):
..........😮‍💨 Sadly I'm really not happy with this 1. All Bark & No Bite it feels too much like a 223 clone. It under performs on Class 6 game for a 3-6 & I feel it should be re-classed as a 2-5. The caliber is known to hit hard within 150m on Small - Medium Game IRL. With that said I feel like it should get a buff & more impact effect on Game to add more Caliber Identity over just speedy follow ups & stability.
• Re-Class to 2-5
• Buff it up where it actually feels like it hits hard on game to give it more depth & character over the 223. The 450 does this impact effect justice in comparison.
• 200m max Zero over 300m. It's a Short to Medium Range Caliber, not long range

10ga O/U:
Is fun but I would've preferred a 28ga to better suite the reserve. All the previous reserve reward calibers had the Game in that reserve in mind and the 10ga seems like overkill on a C:1-2 reserve, however. I get it with the skeet range. In the future I'd like to see a 28ga & 410 slugs added for C:1-3 Game.

Reserve SP:
My Wife & I love it for the Upland Bird & Fur Bearer hunts. Not real big on more Waterfowl. However, the Park is brilliant & satisfying otherwise. In the future I'd love to see Our US upland & furbearer species get some love. Something like or similar to this: https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1308858873217810574.

Last but not least "Thank You" for adding a pointer. Been wanting one added ever since we got the Bloodhound and the release of Mississippi. So far, no issues & performs like I hoped it would. 👍
