I've taken several deer w/ my 12.5" & the same 110gr hand loads & reached a little further maybe to 200 with great results...our S. Tx doe don't get near as big as other parts of the country however. This particular upper is also sub MOA & inspires confidence as well.

The remainder of deer taken with this rifle were at or under 100 yards and were satisfactory in how the deer were taken.
To me, the 300 BLK took deer like a 30-30.
I have sold that weapon.
This may not be useful to you, but it was my practical experience regarding 300 BLK at different ranges.
