Is this 219 Donaldson Wasp brass?

232829

It is formed from 30-30 brass.

0.485" rim diameter (Not 0.506!)

1.75" case length
0.415 case diameter
0.400" shoulder diameter
1.325" case length to shoulder

I don't have a use for this.

Could be anyone of a dozen wildcats from back in the day that were made from 22HP/219Zip/25-35/30-30 cases.

If you want to find out you need good pics of a case w/dimensions before we start digging thru our wildcatting books from the 30s/40s/50s/60s.

Hey Brass
It is not Donaldson Wasp, you don't turn the rim down on them. Ken Howells "Designing and Forming Custom Cartridges" does not show anything in .22 cal with a .485 Rim diameter. My other books are all at Dad's, Sharpe, Nonte, Ackley etc.
Except to eliminate the Wasp I guess I am not much help
