300 wouldn't be that high depending on how low his red cell were at the time. But if it was 300 with a normal HGB level, then it's bordering on too high.

Hemochromatosis is not triggered by transfusions but it can present later in life.

Just to confirm, he's only had two units transfused in total right?
