The 300 whisper started as the 221 Remington fireball, which is a shortened 222 Remington.

The 219 Zipper is based on the 30-30 case.

The 219 Zipper did not start as a wildcat. It was produced by Winchester and brought out in 1937 for the Winchester 64 lever action rifle. Marlin also chambered it in the 336. Ammo does not seem to be made any more but it can be formed from 30-30 or 25-35 Brass.
