I like all the rest here have a few boxes from my local candy store (
www.xringsupply.com) but they have not been shot off, just collecting dust in my ZOMPOC vault...
Might break down and pop some .223 this weekend, will post back later.
-D
'Gotta love good 'ol X-Ring!
Went to the range and popped off a box of .223 with my buddy's Colt AR-15 and I will say that they were good but at 2x the price of a Wolf round, no thanks...

Thanks for the review. As I kind of figured, these seem to just be critical defense rounds with a fancy box and a higher pricetag. Seems to me like a Zombie's head is gonna splatter no matter what brand/type of rounds you hit him with...
It is a sweet looking box, though!
I have to admit that their "cool factor" is high but, if it walk like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck...........
The bottom line is if you take an ordinary anything and place a logo on it of some type people will get all glassy eyed and will pay a higher amount for them. Look at the pet rock................
Yeah, I got more people asking me what the green tip was from (painted) and if they were made differently than a standard round (nope). The cost: ZMax .223, 20 rounds = $18.99, Wolf .223, 20 rounds = $8.99 (same store used for prices). The difference was nil (same 55g rounds, just a different color shell) but Hornady claims to use better materials, so the round is less corrosive and cleaner to shoot. Well if you never clean your piece, then I guess it's good but I am saving my $$$, so I say skip unless you just want it to have sitting on a shelf or even better: in your B.O.B!
I went and bought a box from my local shop for $13.99 It's going in the room with my zombie "propaganda". It's not getting used.
Here you go guys. For those of you that are interested. I was mostly correct in my initial assumption that Z-max bullets are just re-packaged standard Hornady rounds. They are actually V-max varmint rounds, not Critical Defense rounds as I had thought.
Enjoy!
picked up enough for 2 mags in the .45 and 2 for the AR. and Day by day Armageddon is a great read, waiting on book 3 to come out.
