Want To Buy 300 Sherwood dies

Great, the Sherwood is an interesting cartridge. The original ballistics were 140 gr bullet at 1400 fps.

I just tried Missouri cast 135 gr bullets with 4198 and they are accurate. My load was slightly higher than 1400 fps.
 
I have just been getting components together for a friend in Namibia to load a .300 & found a set of Home Made Whack A Mole type dies, I see the last owner (now deceased) was loading 110gr .30cal bullets as the rifle was gone not sure if it had a over sized or worn bore .

What caliber/size bullets have you guys tried ?

I’m always on the lookout for one myself, won’t be able to afford a nice hammerless break action Rook but a Martini type Rook I could do.

The 300 Sherwood uses a 0.300" bullet. I resize larger, hard cast bullets to 0.301". I also found 0.300" jacketed bullets that work well.

Is one was looking for an easy cartridge to reload and had a small action, I would recommend chambering the barrel for 32 H&R. Cases and bullets are easy to find.

Hello,
I might be able to help you out depending on how many you need. I could probably spare 50-75 .285g A-Frames. They are factory pulls that look like new. Let me know if you are still looking,
Thanks,
Gary
