No, "{300,}$" means "300 or more matches, and must match up to the very end."

"{300}" means "match 300," which really means "at least 300." We never look at the 301st character.

The earlier version is more expensive on lines exceeding 300 characters, and could potentially false-negative if \r or 
\n appear after the 300th.
