What are you making? I would put your finished product in a 2 oz cup and weigh it. Multiply that by 300 and divide by 16. That will give you how much finished product you need. If you are making something that shrinks during cooking you will need the shrink factor and divide that by the weight of the finished product.

2 oz x 300 = 600
600/16 oz= 37.5 lbs finished pork 37.5/ 50% loss = 75 lbs raw pork. This is just an example. You will not be able to fit 2 oz/wt into a 2 fl oz cup. That is why you need to weigh a cup with pork in it.
