Spec sheet for the transistor you are using

In addition to the steady-state (strictly DC switching) applications there's something called "the safe operating area" or SOA for bipolar and FET transistors - the rules change when you drive inductive loads with single or repetitive pulses.
Page three shows a TUT (transistor under test) with bias and clamps to protect it from the inductive kick (reverse EMF) generated by the inductor in the collector circuit.
The places where they show variable batteries and diodes - those would be zener diodes in the real world . . .
To safely apply the part, you need to drive it into conduction - not just tickle it a little into the linear range - turn it on hard. Then you need to deal with the transients and ringing that develop in the inductor when you turn it off . . . with diodes to clamp the voltages and keep them from harming (breaking down the insulation inherent in the junctions) the transistor.
That digital scope you showed in one of your earlier posts does not show an accurate picture of what is going on transient wise. A good
100 MHZ or better analog scope will show things with much better resolution - there's voltages and ringing there that you don't see now.
This stuff takes a better understanding than "I've got a transistor and I want to switch 300 volts into a coil."
It is doable but takes a few more parts to keep the transistor from failing.
Don't get discouraged. Learning this stuff takes some time and effort
- you are doing it the best way (in my opinion) with real parts and real circuits - but it does take some "book learning" too.
I remember my first power transistor - they cost a lot back when I was in high school. Mine was a donation/gift from my father. Germanium PNP in the new TO3 case - thick solid copper with a brass nipple where they back fill them with dry nitrogen to protect the wire bonds from corrosion. I made a circuit to switch my bicycle headlights from generator to battery as the RPM dropped too low to get usable light from the generator. Later it became the driver for a blocking oscillator that worked a horn type loud speaker in front of my bike. We didn't just buy new parts, we had to reuse the ones from earlier projects - a small germanium transistor was $5. them were the good old days
