The .17 Libra is an accurate and powerful centerfire rifle cartridge developed in 2001 by the Australian company Big Bear Ammunition. This round offers excellent velocities with minimal recoil, making it perfect for smaller framed shooters.
The .17 Libra is primarily used for hunting small game such as rabbits and hares but can also be used to shoot larger game such as deer, antelope, wild boar and hogs at close ranges due to its mild recoil and flat trajectory. It can also be used effectively for shooting varmints such as coyotes, foxes and raccoons.
