    Wifes new rifle

    Finally finished putting together my wifes new Christensen arms Ridgeline in 300 WSM. We ordered it back in febuary in their new bronze finish.
    Due to her height and LOP I pulled and saved the stock for another project and had Bell & Carlson build one of their varmit stocks 1 inch shorter. The stock and a CA side port brake then got sent to Utah Hydrographics for dipping and cerakote. With the stock back the barrel channel needed to be opened up, the back notched for the bolt release and bed the action.
    I topped it with a Bushnell forge 2.5-15 using a extreme precision base, and vortex pro series rings.
    Loaded it up with 168 gr. TTSXs and h4350 In winny cases primed with 215 mag match federal primers. During barrel brake in I was getting .75" groups with some pushing .5" velocity was averaging 3130 fps.

                            Try some Re17 with those bullets.
                            Start at 66 grains and go up to 69 grains.
                            Post a Target at 69 grains I think it will work well.

                              Do you think RE17 is better than IMR4350?
