The Hodgdon online reloading site has listings for 300 gr which is about as close as you are going to get.

Was it 350 gr or 305 gr you wanted. Either way, check out the online load data

I’ve been having some success with Trail Boss, but the velocity is pretty low.

12 to 15gr Unique no filler.
Just be careful,easy to double or triple charge a case.

Just did a work up of 400gr lead and unique. 12 to 15 grs , shot at 50 yards groups started at 2”, shrunk to .75” with 13.5 grs and increased back up to 2” at 15grs. You’ll find something in that range and get 500 rounds per pound ! That’s efficient fun

What is your def of plinking loads ?
I load Hornady 350 gr RN to ~1500 fps
Old trapdoor Rem 405 ran about 1300 fps , the load used by guides and hunters before the 'guide gun' craze

I've been getting good accuracy using 15.5 grains of Trail Boss, driving a 350 grain RNFPBB lead bullet, in my single shot Sharps rifle and my Hi-Wall.
