The operating pressure of my air rifle is 200 bar, but would u
get more fills out of a diving bottle running at 300 bar
compared to one at 232 bar?

Yea, stay away from the 232 bar ones as most guns fill to 230
bar anyway.
Try Aquaholics in Portrush / Portstewart or try around the gun
shops for a 2nd hand one
12L 300bar would be the best option I reckon.

Only regulated guns with a specified fill pressure of 230 bar
should be filled to this pressure. The vast majority of rifles
should be filled to 200 bar (and most will benefit from being
filled to slightly less).
A gun with a 200 bar recommended fill pressure will show a
massive power curve when filled to more than that, ie. it will
start with low velocity, then gradually rise until it reaches
it's sweet spot, and then start to drop again. This is not
conducive to obtaining best accuracy from your rifle.
Always check what the cylinder on the rifle says, and don't
exceed it.
Totally agree with your advice though to stay away from 232 bar
bottles, they last no length of time before needing topped up.
Go for the biggest 300 bar bottle that you can manage -
especially if you don't have a local shop in which to get it
filled.

I think this is the best I've found yet. £229 for a complete
charging kit with a 300 bar 12.2 litre bottle
