Thread: 17HMR and wallabies

Bennett's wallaby in the SI get up around 18kg and are big lumps of things. Ive shot several with the .17 no problem with chest shots. But what it does is limits your range and you need to be very precise. Our culling mate uses a .17 a lot on bunnies and of course comes across roos -he doesn't like the .17 on them - too many need a second shot or hop away hit. Of course he is more rushed and not so precise.

The Dama wallaby in the NI are only little guys and the .17 would be a lot better on them.
