It won’t matter what species of trout you stock they will target future fry numbers. When I owned an aquaculture outfit raising rainbow I kept my sizes separated for good reason. I have seen rainbow eat fish half there body length

350 is a very reasonable number for the information you provided. The truth is the higher you push the numbers the higher your risk is and added maintenance can be a factor
Thanks for the info Smokey Buck. Should I stock a higher number now with the thought some will be eaten by the existing rainbows and hold off on stocking again until further down the road?
