Wildcat CrazyI have a Hornady Vol 2{1973} that lists loads for a .219 Zipper built on a F N Mauser.What powders will you want to use?What bullet weights? What type of action is your rifle built on?
A little more info and I might be able to help you.

Mauser98Here's some data from the Ideal Hand Book #33 published in 1939. The second column is bullet weight.

RWS primers were used and the cases were Remington.The rifle used was a FN custom Mauser with a 27" barrel with 1-14 rwist.
I double checked all data,I believe it to be as printed in the loadfng manual.
Data is listed for the 53 gr.and 60 gr. bullets but I don't have time to print it now,let me know if you need it.
