The reason nobody compares inside 300yds, give or take, is that there are probably 50 cartridges that all work equally well. Dead is dead.
True. For every head of game that's taken at long range.....and for the sake of argument I'll use the 300 yard mark.....there are many, many more taken at ranges of less. I'd even go out on a limb and say that for every deer shot at 300 yards or more, there are a 100, and maybe more, shot at less than that.
