If you’re only intending to shoot 300ish meters then don’t worry too much about ES or SD numbers - a 130gr sst doing 3000fps vs 2900fps only has a touch over an inch difference in drop at 300m. Even at 500m you’re looking at less than 1moa difference.
For a 300m hunting round I would be focusing on getting the fastest safe load that can still shoot consistently around the 1moa mark - this will do more than enough out to 3-400yards, as long as you aren’t trying to shoot your deer in the eye balls!
