Oh we want to keep it strictly subsonic, ooman, and can tolerate 'minute of Farmer Giles' accuracy...

Have you looked at some of the scopes for 12G slug ( Nikon slug hunter), these are graduated to 200m ( I know you said 300M....) but the drop on a .45 acp is serious. I tried my 9mm which at 200 > 300M took me all 1 rotation and all the mildots to get on target ! Reminded me of a small artillery piece !
Some things are just meant to be shot at shorter distances
