7prcw finicky?

Ask 10 shooters and you're likely to get ten different opinions.
While there, we were talking to a pair of ( top 5 finishing) shooters. One loved the SAUM/ hated the PRCW and the other vice versa. It often comes down to the indian, not the arrow.
Talking to others, a theme became apparent. Wringing the neck of the PRCW and especially the FCP didn't lead to good results. They were usually more stable and accurate a definite step below their velocity potential.

Couple data points for the discussion.
When you talk with the top x% of FOpen, perspective is key. The difference between "average" vs "competitive" is often something that could be misapplied. These shooters are looking to wring every last X/V and 10 ring consistency they can out of thier System.
If you're a "Team of One", you're at a disadvantage to a shooter that's has a Club or Team Knowledge Bank to tap into.
The right group of guys as an example could likely collaborate and make N165/7STW/168gr bullets competitive.
At the end of the day, all Competitors have limited amounts of time/energy/money to put towards thier shooting System.
So the solutions you see each Shooter arrive at are going to be uniquely and personal to that specific Competitor.
That said, the 2 most accurate 7mm barrels I've ever had were chambered in 7-6.5 PRC, one with N555, the other with R16.
The most accurate barrels I currently have are chambered 300 WSM and 22 Dasher.
