This .219 Don Wasp is one of my latest projects made by Match Grade Machine and has a 25 in. bbl. I have got GREAT groups with it with partitions and Hornady A-maxs. I thought I would share some pics of her. Basically its a beefed up .219 Zipper with the 30-30 as the parent case. I have a question for some of you internet researching reloading monguls /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif. I know this cartiage is kinda ancient but I am curious if anyone knows where I can get some info on blue dot loads for it or any quite loads period. I am shooting close to city limits and want it to be as quite as possible. ANy help sure would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Both of my Hornady loading manuals have loads for the .219
DW. Interesting project gun, did you purchase form dies or do you have a process for making up brass without them ?
 
I do not have any specific data, but Butcher Holler is not that far away. You are welcome to use our strain gauge pressure testing equipment if you like.

NO I just have the regular Redding .219 DOn wasp dies for making the cases from 30-30 brass. I bought 100 new already sized from a company on the net when I 1st got the bbl. Its shoot very good and seems to be a deadly coyote and cat gun.
