The .219 Donaldson Wasp cartridge (.219 Wasp) was created in 1937 by Harvey Donaldson, and is based on the .219 Zipper case, which in turn is based upon the .25-35 Winchester case. While popular amongst match shooters in the 1930s & 1940s it has fallen by the wayside in favor of cartridges such as the 22 PPC and 6mm PPC, but is still held in high regard for its accuracy, and occupies a niche in the lever operated single shot rifle market. 50 and 55 grain bullets are commonly used and load pressures are typically in the range.

There are in fact two versions of the cartridge, a long version and short. It is unclear which of these is the original. The short version has a body length 0.050" shorter than the original. Furthermore the neck length of the short version was reduced by 0.040" to remove what might be considered excessive neck length by some shooters, suggesting the short version might be the newer design. This results in a finished overall case length 0.098" shorter than the long version (1.715" versus 1.813"). 219 Donaldson Wasp dies can be used to load rimless versions based on the 6.8 SPC case, producing necks lengths of .203" and .253" respectively.
