Varmint Ammo?

[GoreTiger]

I bought some .22 varmint ammo for my Rifle online. I have the bolt action, But it won't let me switch to it even tho i have it unlocked & bought it.
I made sure it was the right type, and as long as the ability to swap ammo types is the same online as it is for offline using a controller, i'm doing everything right.
So why can't I use it?

Varmint ammo does not go into bolt action.

Varmint ammo is for the varmint rifle.

have u tried using the varmint rifle not the bolt action lol

Well...that explains it.
I thought the varmint ammo could be used with any rifle for better pelts.
Is the varmint rifle worth getting? Does the quality of pelts improve enough to warrent the cost of it?

varmint rifle is good for hunting little prey and bird ,

The varmint rifle is for small, but not the smallest animals.

You can get 3 star pelts from rabbits, badgers, skunks, animals around that size.

For perfect 3 star animals like small birds, frogs, squirrels, and snakes you need to use the bow with small game arrows.

The varmint rifle has its own type of ammo, which would be .22lr in real life.

Anything else in the game that is a rifle (Springfield, Bolt Action, Carcano, and Rolling Block) uses the same ammo type.

The game makes a distinction between rifles and sniper rifles in the sharpshooter awards section, but it's all the same ammo.
