  • The .219 Zipper is a rifle cartridge developed by Winchester in 1937. It is a centerfire, bottlenecked cartridge with a bullet diameter of .224 inches (5.7mm) and a case length of 1.75 inches (44mm).The .219 Zipper was designed as a varmint cartridge for use in lever-action rifles. It is capable of firing light bullets at high velocities, making it well-suited for hunting small game such as groundhogs, prairie dogs, and coyotes at ranges of up to 300 yards.The cartridge was popular among hunters and shooters during the mid-20th century but has since fallen out of favor due to the development of more powerful and versatile cartridges. However, it still has a dedicated following among collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate its historical significance and unique performance characteristics.
