Interesting conversation.
223 being legal on Crown land should make the decision easy.
I don't own a 223, but do have 222-remington and 22 Hornet. I don't think either are "allowed" on Crown land but have achieved one shot kills on goat and fallow deer (222 Rem not Hornet) I would have no hesitation on suggesting either would be adequate for north island wallaby and possibly the bigger south island species.
What's the forums thoughts on 222 Remington or 22 Hornet for wallaby? The noise would certainly be less than 223, possibly allowed a second shot?
