I get great accuracy using core-lokts out of both guns though the remington 700 really likes the SSTs. I appreciate all of your responses but I don't think that the outfitter is "full or it" I just think that he was just voicing his opinion and me, not knowing any better came to you all for your opinions. In fact, my son normally shoots a .243 but the outfitter "preferred" that he hunt with something bigger if he could handle the recoil. He has been shooting the .308 every weekend and is very comfortable at shots out to 250 yards. Look, I'm handicapped and this will probably be the only opportunity that I will ever have at harvesting a trophy buck and I want to make the most out of it. I'm going with what I have been shooting versus changing everything for the hunt. The way that I look at it is if I put the bullet where it belongs, I will get my deer.
