The .300 Whisper (7.82x34mm) is a CIP standard [1] cartridge in the Whisper family, a group of cartridges developed in the early 1990s by J.D. Jones of SSK Industries.It was developed as a multi-purpose cartridge, capable of utilizing relatively lightweight bullets at supersonic velocities as well as heavier bullets (200–250 grains) at subsonic velocities.
Unlike .300 AAC Blackout which was targeted specifically at the suppressed rifle market, and adapted to hunting, the .25-45 Sharps was designed primarily as a hunting round. That is not to say the round does not have tactical applications as its ballistics exceed that of the 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge.
Whilst a noted target round, the .300 Sherwood was also used for hunting, it was considered more suited for small deer than for small game. [5] Henry Sharp, in his 1906 book Modern Sporting Gunnery, quotes hunters in British Columbia who used the .300 Sherwood to kill bears, bighorn sheep, and one verified caribou at 220 yd (200 m). [3]
The .300 Ruger Compact Magnum or .300 RCM is a rimless, short-length rifle cartridge designed for the hunting of medium-to-large-sized North American game.. It is designed to closely duplicate the performance of the historic .300 Winchester Magnum cartridge, yet to be chambered in a short length action rifle.
The .350 Legend cartridge is engineered for deer hunters requiring a modern straight-walled cartridge. [10] It is capable of killing hogs, deer, black bears, and coyotes. With bullet weights ranging from 125 to 280 gr (8.1 to 18.1 g), the .350 Legend is a highly versatile cartridge with many end uses.
The .300 WSM also head-spaces off of the case shoulder, versus the older .300 Winchester Magnum's belted head space design. The advantage to this round is the ballistic performance is nearly identical to the .300 Winchester Magnum [ 2 ] in a lighter rifle with a shorter action burning 8 - 10% less gunpowder.
