If you do not get any info try the british militaria forums or assra.com. Now having said that the 300 sherwood is similar to the 310 cadet cartridge. I would first slug your barrels to see what the dimensions are. 310 cadet cases can be made from 32-20 cases. Buffalo arms may have the cases and bullets and dies that you need.
Hope this helps. Frank

Do a search for rook rifle and there should be a couple of threads come up. Our aussie members can add a bit of knowledge to your tool chest, hopefully one of them will be along soon.

Just thought about Double D. He's well versed in the world of british firearms and should be able to help you out. Frank
