Yes the .300 BLK will reach 300 yards, as to having enough energy to hunt with you'll have to decide.
125 grain Sierra OTM bullet
MV 2200 fps, velocity at 300 yards 1536 fps energy 656 ft-lbs.
240 grain Sierra MK bullet
MV 1000 fps, velocity at 3000 yards 922 fps energy 453 ft-lbs.
At 300 yards the 240 grain bullet would be like shooting a deer with a muzzle loader. I wouldn't hesitate to take a deer with either at 300 yards but I would prefer much closer. I do like the fact that the heavier bullet doesn't even loose 100 fps in 300 yards from the muzzle, so maybe a 165 grain bullet like the Accubond would be a great compromise, loose a little MV but pick up more energy out to 300 yards.
