It looks like the 300 is made from 221 brass so It should work in reverse using standard dies . Right?
Thanks
 
If there is enough neck length and the shoulder is forward ... yes. If the shoulder on the 300 is shorter than the Fireball shoulder length you may need to make a false shoulder as part of the neck and fireform the brass to move the shoulder forward.

I make my own 221 Fireball brass from military 223. It's a bit labor intense but the cases last forever.
 
If looking for fireball brass I have a bunch listed in reloading supplies
