I can't tell you if it will match a 30-30 at 300 yards, but a .308 will still have plenty of knockdown power for a pig at that range if you do your part and place it correctly.

The effective range is going to be what you can hit as .308 packs a wallop. For the average marksman hitting a pig at 300 meters would be a rather spectacular shot. Unless you're a really good shot, I wouldn't worry about max effective range.
