Yep. He's an extrememely knowledgable sour-puss.Mr Selby deserves and garners respect.
But the man hates anything modern and efficient.
And I follow his videos, for the most part.

I got some 175 ABs to try in the 7mm PRC. I am looking for various weight Partitions for use with eastern big game too.The 160gr Bt and AB are my favs as well.
Bought the PRC for the same reason.
7PRC is to the 7RemMag as the 6.5CM is to the 260Rem or the 6CM is to the 243Win. There is no magic there. It's marketing to sell more ammo and more rifles because so many like the idea of taking advantage of the higher BC bullets for better down range performance. For many that think they need that AND are NOT reloaders, their option is to buy the new rifle and new round.
Ok. Here is real world data. Not for your nosler partition but for 175 ELDx and 180 ELD match. I bought a ruger American go wild off the shelf and put a few boxes of ammo through it. The 175 ELD x in the precision hunter was shooting 2825 fps and the 180 ELD match was shooting 2775 fps. I am expecting about 100 fps jump in velocity after about 100 rounds or so but that puts those bullets far shy of advertised velocities and right around what I get from my 7 Remington mag. I plan to shoot 195 bergers or something similarly heavy and long. I am not expecting too much additional performance over the 7 Remington mag but I will be able to load long to the lands and still fit my bullets in the magazine and won't be taking up a bunch of powder space.Does anyone have real world info and not hype unless Im missing something I cant see this cartridge doing more than 7mm rem ,7mm wsm,7mm stw and so on using 175 gr nosler partition just curious
What I like about the 7prc was the ease of developing a load with rl26 and 180 eldms I have a 26 inch carbon 6 that shoots 3020 with 67.6 and a 24 inch McGowen that shoots 2980 with 67 grains 4 shot group at 800. I still shoot a lot of other calibers but I do really like the 7prcMy hang up on this is people have been using their 7 rem mag with 180 class for some time now and when that 180 class come out the same velocity as the PRC can do there really is no difference. Throats can be tweaked and new barrels with appropriate twist thrown on and you're in it for the cost of a new rifle chambered in the newest latest and greatest wonder round.
Not exactly, depending on the COAL and throat of their platform.280 AI shooters be like....yaaaawn.
I'm sure this will draw some ire from his fans, but I haven't found Mr Selby to be all too enlightening in maters of the rifle. As stated, you can about bank on him derriding anything new, and even if he acknowledges a good design, he'll generally follow it up with a diatribe about how the improvements weren't needed anyhow.Yep. He's an extrememely knowledgable sour-puss.
I'm loading 175 Berger's in a 20" Bartlein and I have them load to the max load and getting only 2821 FPS out of it with a 24" benchmark barrel I'm getting 2965FPS loaded to max VV N560 powderWhy wouldn't the stw be a solid comparison the claim on prc is having velocities in 3000 to 3200 fps range which is why I asked the question as to real world info or testing
