If you are planning on hunting at those distances I think it’s time to step up to the 7 mag. The thing is it is more fun to practice with a lighter calibre and also cheaper therefore you will probably become more proficient with it.

I think the OP asked about "under 300 yards"
However , (for the thread drift ) I know of no serious and competent long range shooters that do not zero and check their POI right out to their maximum range , I also know of no serious and competent true long range shooters that use MPBR as a system to hunt with.
Far bigger cartridges than the .308 are all used by the long rangers I associate with.
