I have a buddy from out of state coming next week to go whitetail hunting (southeast region) and he's going to use my .308 so I'm left with my Remington XCR 300 WM. Until now I've only used it for long range target shooting and I'm concerned the 180 Core Lokt Ultra (only WM hunting ammo I have on hand) will make too much of a mess out of a 150-200 lb deer.

Anyone else use this round for whitetails and if so is there a better round you'd recommend??
