Look on you tube or the hornady website and they have a zombie advertising video. I laugh my *** off watching it.
Hornady "Zombie MAX"

That's probably because those barrels were made before we about the possibility of the Zombie Apocalypse! Any post-WWII Steel or pre-lock Airweight will be fine with 5% but if you don't feel safe stay with 4% Garlic.
I read that the Spices Added to Apocalypse Munitions Institute (SAAMI) maximum pressure specs for 5% nowadays are the same as 4% was in the old days, and that 5% is just a marketing gimmick to get us to pay more for the same garlic powder load. Is that true?That's probably because those barrels were made before we about the possibility of the Zombie Apocalypse! Any post-WWII Steel or pre-lock Airweight will be fine with 5% but if you don't feel safe stay with 4% Garlic.
And if so, won't my older Airweight be fine with today's dumbed down 5%?

The notice on the box specifically states Zombie Max is for use on zombies only. Shooting anything else with the could void the warranty.

I can't tell you because I don't buy the ammo. I'm loading my own so if I feel I need 5% I know there really is 5% Garlic in my ammo!
I heard the commercial 5% ammo is just a marketing gimmick too.
hi
I picked up several boxes of it, cause it was very cheap compared to critical defense. I shot 2 boxes without any FTF or FTE. No stovepipes either. I have read its the exact same load as HCD just brass case and green tip. I would beware using it on a bad guy though, cause a lawyer, if he/she finds out that you used it would point out that on the box it says its not intended for use on anything but zombies and in today's world, that could get a person in a world of hurt in court.

Not to bump an old topic for no reason but I just saw a box of this locally and wondered what the buzz was. I may have to grab a box or two to try at the target range just to see how it performs.

This has to be the best marketing ploy in the last 200 years. Hornady zombie ammo. My hats off to the hornady company. I guess if we have a zombie attack we need zombie ammo.....what a great idea to sell ammo.

A good video that shows the difference between the ZombieMax and Critical Defense rounds:
ZOMBIE MAX VS CRITICAL DEFENSE - YouTube
Local farm supply store still has some in stock. Want to pick up a box before they're "gone".

I tried these out on zombies
Man, I tried these out on zombies and they just kept walking slowly toward me going "uuuh uuuh uuuh".

I'll bet that you used the 9mm version...Zombies just don't have much respect for 9mm...Next time, use the .45 acp version...That'll make 'em tip right over.
