I hunt in NW GA, if I will be hunting down by the creek in thick hardwoods I take either a 30-30 or 12ga with slugs (100yrds max).
If I will be hunting the high ground, I prefer a 30-06 or 270 (old school) where a 300yrd shot is possible. I've been using the Remington corelokt bullets for almost 50yrs
If I am hunting from the kitchen table (preferred) I like the 12ga and buckshot.
For your situation wanting 300yrds I feel the 30-30 would fall short if you could shorten that to 150yrds the 30-30 is great.

30-30 would be limited to 100-120. The gold dots in the op would be the longer reach option in 308. The boy is shooting metallic Silhouette to 100 with a lever in 357 same sights. If he continues to improve I'll allow more discretion on his part.

I hunt in costal SW Alabama. I’m not sure what you mean by, “hunting from the kitchen table,” but my choices are 44M (revolver), 30-30 and a good ‘ol .270. These have all conceivable scenarios covered.

Sitting at the table eating biscuits and gravy, drinking coffee and staying warm looking out the patio doors at the food plot/ feeder. That's my idea of hunting when it stays below freezing
