I'd keep it BELOW 300% for a max GCR profile but leave the K limit at 100%. Assuming the press prints K to the proper density (>1.60), you shouldn't need more than about 260-280% total ink to achieve maximum printable density.

This is similar to the Max Black profiles we were using before, but
seeing that a few of the finals (Magazine pages) ended up really
flat, I went back to using the standard GRACoL2006 and SWOP2006
profiles (thinking I was going the wrong way by dumping all the info
into the K channel).

Would it be fine to build a Max Black 325% Total Ink profile for
SWOP? The 300% total ink just wasn't working for us.

Thanks.

For a 4 color process rich black with no color hues,  make a full
range Black (2%-3% highlight to 96%-97% shadow) w/ a ?short range?
CMY. Come in with the three color when black values hit 15% - 35%
and run them to 45% - 60% in the shadows.
