The .219 Donaldson Wasp cartridge (.219 Wasp) was created in 1937 by Harvey Donaldson. It is based on the .219 Zipper case, which is in turn based upon the .25-35 Winchester case. [ [http://www.chuckhawks.com/219_Wasp_Thornblom.htm 219 Donaldson Wasp ] ] While popular amongst match shooters in the 1930s & 1940s it has fallen by the wayside in favor of cartridges such as the 6mm PPC, but is still held in high regard for its accuracy. 45, 50 & 55 grain bullets are commonly used [ [http://www.reloadbench.com/cartridges/w219dw.html 219 Donaldson Wasp ] ] and pressures for some loads are reported to be in the 55-60,000 PSI range.
