Doc,
There are a lot of people on this site that over estimate the weight of thier hogs. Most, like yourself have at some point utilized an uncalibrated scale.  To help your ability to judge future catches, play around with your scale.  If you have access to 45# Olympic weights, they will work great. A gallon of water is also a great way to see if it is accurate.

It is very similar to watching Bill Dance fish on TV. In truth, there is a very big difference in a true 10# bass versus a 6.5 # bass that Bill says is 10 #'s.  I simply was letting you know that a true 300 pound hog is much bigger. It is awefully embarrassing, and makes people come off as rookies when in the presence of a person that judges them accurately.  It can be perceived wrong, and credibility can be lost. I was simply trying to help.
