Introducing Zombie Max™ from Hornady®

[sgreen3]

Its a novelty item

Its 100% identical to vmax in the rifle ammo or critical defense int he pistol ammo, othen than the color of the polymer tip. Same ammo,down to the powder and projectile. The 7.62x39 actually makes a very nice mid range deer bullet for those states lucky enough to use such a thing.
So short version is its high quality stuff rebranded to sell and trust me it sells like crazy

Zombies are the latest & greatest thing right now. Shows like The Walking Dead have made zombies cool & mainstream. The manufacturers are just cashing in on it. Here in Richmond they had a zombie walk a couple weeks before Halloween. There was a story in the local paper about how the Halloween stores were selling out of their zombie stuff because zombies were so popular. Zombies are hot so it’s a smart way to sell more bullets in a tough economy.

That would explain the zombie targets I saw in the local gun shop in Jeffersonville, IN.

I did see a recent history channel show about people who are preparing for zombies. This is right there in the same class as "ancient aliens."

S you mackey, I believe in ancient aliens!!!!

 

[RoyalTenenbaum]

Yeah, but when the zombies come you could get like $10 a round for that stuff man. It's an investment.

I noticed when you go to the link and scroll down, the 30-30 ammo has a pointed tip like an A-Max or V-Max bullet. I thought all center fire ammo for use in lever guns was supposed to be round nose to prevent a pointed bullet from detonating a primer in the feed tube. I can only think of two things to explain this: 1, the polymer tip isn't hard enough to detonate a primer or 2, they may state not to use this in lever guns.

Have things changed or am I mistaken about the use of pointed bullets in center fire lever guns (for use on Zombies or anything else)?

The Leverevolution, ammo, has a poly tip ....

I picked up my box of .45 Zombie Max at Robys Bullseye in Kokomo today.

They had plenty of .45ACP and 9mm, not sure of anything else. I was kind of surprised to find that Hornady used brass cases in these instead of nickel, but oh well. I bought it for the collectable aspect of the box more then anything. Price was comparable to other SD ammo at $24.99 for .45ACP

I'm pretty sure any bullet to the head of a zombie would dispatch it.

SHEER marketing genius!! with the current zombie in the media, and coming out near halloween.....................BRILLIANT having trouble finding it just to see it..... local shop was out of theirs in 2 days lol

 

[U.S. Patriot]

People are silly enough to buy it!

 

[armedindy]

zombie max .45

arrived in the mail the other day...pretty neato...but i was dissapointed that on the bottom of the casing it doesnt have any special zombie imprint, just the regular hornady .45
...o well, still cool...but now i have to get the 12 gauge shells, cuz they have a cool zombie thing on them

 

[mikefraz]

I've been tempted to pick up a box it two...are you impressed by them?

 

[armedindy]

its fun to show off to friends, and if u dont have kids or anything they make a kinda cool decoration. but i havnt shot any yet so no range report at this time

 

[gabrigger]

Sounds like brilliant marketing to me!

 

[bluewraith]

I got a box of .45s too, but kinda sad to see brass cases instead of nickel plated. Oh well.

I didn't realize the 12ga shells had something on them? I may have to grab a box of those too now....oh darn.

Hornandy Zombie Max 7.62x39 ammo pics

Yeah I could have bought some stocking stuffers for my kids but I saw this and got my own stocking stuff on. Dont most people shop for their 2 & 8 year old daughters christmas stocking stuffers at your local ffl. My 8 year old will be thrilled when she pulls out a box of 123 batteries and a new scope mount for an AR, mine. Lol.

No really I saw this and was like damn thats expensive. $18 for 20 rounds of 7.62x39. But then I was like yeah but its freakin cool and INGO will appreciate my investment. So I really only bought this to share with you. No you cant have it, but I might let you borrow it.

 

[sonofagun]

Pretty cool!

I just received my two boxes of 9mm and a box of .40 yesterday.

Great Christmas gifts!
