- The .300 Sherwood is a British rifle cartridge developed in the early 20th century for small-game hunting and target shooting. It was designed for light, single-shot, and bolt-action rifles, offering moderate power with minimal recoil. The cartridge fires a .300-inch caliber bullet, typically around 140 grains, with a muzzle velocity of approximately 1,400 fps. It was primarily used in rook and rabbit rifles, popular among sportsmen for short-range hunting. While largely obsolete today, the .300 Sherwood remains a historical cartridge appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts of vintage firearms.
