    Anyone try the new KUIU Boonie?

    Kuiu Boonie seems cool enough and light weight. Brim does seem a little too wide, but does add shade.

Thought you might be interested. Same point of impact and same powder...

    Best calibers for western hunting old and new using factory ammo

    I would choose either a 30-06 or a 300 Winchester Magnum caliber as my all round choice. The 30-06 is where I started and has always been a favorite. However the nod usually goes to a light weight 300 Winchester Magnum.

    Scope Choice for 7PRC Elk gun?

    I have been please with the Nightforce NXS 2.5-10 X 42 as a mountain hunting scope. For me it seems to be a reasonable compromise, between ruggedness, repeatability, weight and magnification.

    Elk Question

    Agree with Elk Nut and cnelk, it depends on the angle and I would guess 8" is possible and maybe more. Especially if you add muscle, bone and hide to the mix and aim for top of the heart. Penetration is most important when bones and angled ribs are protecting the forward chest area.
