MSW specifically advises against going above 220° or so. Frankly, going up to the 300° region, that you're considering, would make me more concerned about wax staying liquid too long and working out of the rollers while hanging (that and, as I've mentioned multiple times, I've never needed to wipe a chain after removal, anyway).
