In R, log is the natural logarithm. In calculators, log usually means base 10 logarithm. To achieve that in R you can use the log10 function.
Copylog(5)
## [1] 1.609438
log10(5)
## [1] 0.69897
As for your formula, it seems correct, since log is the natural logarithm.

log: Logarithms and Exponentials
a positive or complex number: the base with respect to which logarithms are computed. Defaults to \(e\)=exp(1). A vector of the same length as x containing the transformed values. log(0) gives -Inf, and log(x) for negative values of x is NaN.

What is the log() function in R?
The log() function in R is used to obtain the logarithm (the natural logarithm, by default) of a given input numeric or complex vector.

R Lesson 30: Logarithms | by Michael Orozco-Fletcher | Medium
July 7, 2023 - Calculating logs in R is as simple as using R’s built-in log() function and adding in two parameters-the argument and the base. With these two parameters and the log() function, R will return the logarithm's exponent, which in this case is 5 since log base-2 of 32 equals 5.

In addition I will point out that your model
Copyy ~ a + b*(x/305) + c*((x/305)^2) + d*log(305/x) + f*(log(305/x))^2
is linear in the statistical sense of being linear in the coefficients; it doesn't need to be linear in x.
You don't need nls to fit this model, you could use lm().
But remember to look at the I() function to express terms like (x/305)^2.
ETA example:
CopyaDF <- data.frame(x=abs(rnorm(100)), y=rnorm(100))
lm(y ~ 1 + I(x/305) + I((x/305)^2) + log(305/x) + I(log(305/x)^2), data=aDF)
