300yds is boring unless you use really tiny targets, or are cutting paper for groups.
It is kind of interesting, inside of 500 yards the hits are pretty much gimme's assuming you don't totally screw up the dialing. "High Angle" stops being all that high angle the further you get and the closer in you are the less influence the angle has. Under 20 degrees at 1K yards is only .2 or .3 mils depending on the cartridge. 15 degrees is a fairly high angle over 1K which still only means .2mil less dope or less.
Point being, verifying your dope and calling your wind correctly is by far more important to small rifle cartridges than worrying about tiny computer calculations that really only relate ELR or artillery.
