I think the case mouth might be back where there is no taper. What is the overall length to the start of the taper? Also what is the diameter there?

Approximately 1.67 and the diameter would be .310 adjusting for the elapsed time since the cast was made.
It is starting to look like a .300 Sherwood isn't it ?

I think it might be, looks like they cut a generous lead (throat). My first step would be to locate a loaded .300 and try that first before I bought anything else.

Look at this description from Christe's Acution house - if it is correct .300 Special and .300 Sherwood may be the same ? The Rifle described matches mine. My serial number is aproximately 5700 lower. http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=272561
