The .219 Donaldson Wasp / 5.7x44mmR intermediate cartridge was developed during the late 1930s by Harvey Donaldson, and is derived from the .219 Zipper case. Cases have been formed from .25-35 Winchester, .30-30 Winchester, .32 Winchester Special, and .22 Savage Hi-Power brass. It quickly became very popular amongst benchrest shooters, with 70-80% of shooters winning matches using it. The introduction of the .222 Remington spelled the demise for the .219 Donaldson Wasp, though it remains a very capable cartridge for those interested in reloading.
