As long as mine are 150 to 190 bar I leave them like that. However i try and give a few dry fire shots every nonth.

Assuming 300 bar is the gun fill pressure (and not the test pressure) then there is no harm leaving it. More harm is caused leaving a gun with little or no pressure, which usually results in the need for a seal change quite quickly.
I'm happy with mine
as above

I've never come across a PCP that is filled to 300 BAR

Hiya Mac,the recommended fill limit is 232
sorry I typed that compleatly wrong
Ive put 200 in it as a max ( my decision ) so as not to over do it.
I'll edit the other bit now if I can

PCPs can be left charged for months at a time with no ill effects, it's actually worse to let a PCP go empty as the O rings relax and lose their seal, when kept under pressure they last longer
Making a mockery of growing old gracefully since I retired
