[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 1324841, member: 9551"] Here is a photo of my first .219 Donaldson Wasp. It is a falling block from EA Brown. I used Wilson half neck size die and seater on the prepared Hornady 30/30 brass from EA Brown. I was impressed with the quality of the EA Brown barrel. I tried to make .219 Donalson brass using a form die from C-H and RWS .22 Highpower brass from Hunington. I made two cases successfully but ruined several. I will try to anneal before trying again. Reloader 17 and 55 gr bullets was my best combination for both velocity and accuracy. I use the Berger and Hornady manuals for load data. You can safely use .223 Remington maximums. I like to neck size only so I do not hot rod this cartridge. I have .220 Swift rifles for that. My next .219 DW rifle is still being assembled. I will report soon. [/QUOTE]
