    Hornady Z-MAX

    Will Hornady offer the Z-MAX in 6.5 Grendel?

    Is this a joke?

      I would buy some just for the cool factor (as I expect many others would). However it only seems to be availible in Canada at the moment.
      Maybe if we all whine to Hornady, they will offer it down here...

        They have not "officially" announced it, but I have confirmation from a source that it is real and will be announced in November. Some retailers have jumped the gun and are taking pre-orders.

          I have emailed Hornady to see what they say, but do you have any info on it??? Is it a new bullet that they are coming out with, or just something they have with a facelift?

            Didn't ask, I assume it's just an amax or vmax with a green tip. They will announce the details at the NASGW, which is at the beginning of November I believe.

              So, am I the only person who thinks this is a sad state of affairs? Is that the mentality we portray to marketing pukes? Really!?

                  Probably not, although personally I find it merely amusing.

                  Actually, yes. Do a search for "zombie" on any gun forum to see how widespread and popular the topic is.

                  Hornady is just trying to cash in on the fad, as some makers of AR lowers have been doing for awhile. Fer instance: http://www.rainierarms.com/?page=sho...roduct_id=2669

                  Only possible downside I see with zombie ammo is the negative political BS the anti-gun crowd might try to make of it.

                    LOL ..... I think it's funny as hell. There are so many "Just in case" "SHTF" "when the zombies come" types out there that this will probably sell rather quickly. Juse for the funny factor.

                      Have you not seen Zombieland??? You never know when your hot neighbor down the hall is going to be attacked by some homeless guy that ate a bad cheeseburger... You have to be prepared, and search for the long lost Twinkies, or become zombie food...

                          As in "Why do you hate zombies?" or "If only one zombie child's life is saved, it will be worth it."

                            Precisely. Just because zombies suffer the severe misfortune to have become physically impaired is no reason to kill them. After all, it could happen to anybody...

                              Looks like "they're coming!" I emailed Hornady about where in the US I can preorder the zombie z-max ammo...... this was the response i got.
