At 300 yards the only noticeable differences will be the amount of pain in your shoulder and the amount of ruined meat in the animal. Of course there will be more of both with the .300 win mag. A shot that only wounds the animal with a .30-06 will do the same with a .300 win mag. Shot placement and bullet construction is everything.

The main advantage of a .300 win mag will be trajectory, but that comes into play more with long range target shooting than with practical hunting range. Your still going to have to know how much to hold over or how many clicks to dial on your scope regardless if the drop is 20" or 50".
