I have not shot 300gr bullets, but I would think you would be looking at 3-4 inch more of a drop, than the 250gr. Does that sound right?
I am like most other Texans, in that most of us sight in at 100 or 200 yds, and figure hold over for anything past that.
I would think it to be about 3 to 4 inches more drop, for a 300 gr over a 250 gr.

For 99% of us out here (in Colorado with no scope) that never shoot over 150 yards, it really isn't.
And, to be honest, if I were going to New Mexico and allowed to use a scope, I would probably take the 300 anyway. Look at the difference in energy at 200 yards.
