I hadn't thought about it in terms of cargo space. While I would wager that the 300,000 ly range is in fact a typo, it wouldn't be entirely broken if it wasn't. With JFC IV it takes about 90m3 in isotopes per light year, which would mean that a 600m3 BS could jump 6.67 ly with a full cargo hold. With 7 t2 expanders that becomes just under 3200 m3 of space, allowing for a jump range of 35ly. That might be a bit too far, I'm not sure of the exact consequences for such a long jump range. For reference, a carrier with JDC IV can jump 13ly.
