The command in grass should be something like:
r.mapcalc "OutputMap300m = if ( InputElevationMap == 300 , 300 , null())"

The above means: if the Input map (cell) equals to 300, then write 300 to the 
(respective) Output Map (cell), otherwise don't write anything (=null()).

Not sure how construct the command in the graphical r.mapcalc in QGIS. The 
if() function is of course there,  but I need a liitle more time (=another 
time) to figure out... :-)
