Not to be pedantic, but it's Donaldson not Donelson.

Its a cool round.
Got a #3 somebody redid to .219dw and put #1 wood on it.
Has a Canjar but trigger good enough without using set feature.
Slapped a 10x cpc on it.
Need to park it on an alfalfa field this summer

Had a Winchester High Wall in .219 Donaldson Wasp. One of the shootinist shootin' irons I ever owned.

I'd certainly consider one, but I already have a Winchester high wall in .219 Zipper Improved with a 12x Unertl scope. One wildcat single shot in .22 caliber is sufficient.

Surrender your Loony Card immediately!!! I know, right!? Says the person who considers 7x57AI a wildcat.  I would like to see a picture of the #1 219 though.

Not very far down the rabbit hole, is he? Haha, it's all good. If I hadn't spent so much treasure on .22CF's over the years, factory and wildcat, I could take all y'all out for steak dinners tomorrow night!

It's not like I haven't owned others, but as I approach 70 I've been actively thinning the herd. In single shots alone, aside from the .219 ZI, I still have a .225 Winchester (pretty much a wildcat these days, since brass is unobtainable), a .223, a .218 Bee, and a number of .22s on single shot actions. Gone are the .218 Mashburn Bee, the .219 Zipper (effectively a wildcat these days, as no one makes cartridges for it anymore), a .20 Kiel Centerfire (sort of a .20 Mashburn Bee and one I'd love to have back, but sold shortly before the introduction of the .204 Ruger because bullets were impossible to find and I didn't want to gear up to make my own), another .218 Bee, a .256 Winchester, a .32 H&R, a .32-20, a couple of Martini .22s in various configurations, a .310 Cadet and some others I can't remember. I may have been way down the rabbit hole at one point, but I'm getting nearer the surface.
