I wouldn't have thought a 300y shot was that far to consider passing up, easily ethical with most centerfire offerings for example; a 270win with standard 130gn interloks zeroed at 200y is only 6" low at 300y, a good rest and holding a little high would easily see you sorted.
I do agree with the comment "get closer if you can, as you point out you've got to recover it anyway."
