Is Hornady Zombie Max the same as Critical Defense?

[mr00jimbo]

I have some Zombie Max 00 buck 12 gauge and I was curious if it's the same stuff as Hornady Critical Defense ?
Is ALL Zombie Max ammo by Hornady just rebadged Critical Defense, even in shotgun, pistol and rifle ammo, or are there differences?
Thanks

yes, it's all the same but different cool packaging

Yes, z-max and critical defense are the same, but I believe the critical duty ammo is different.

there is a MINOR difference other than packaging, the tips on the Z-Maz are green on the pistol / rifle ammo instead of the standard colour which I believe is white ((?) correct me if I'm wrong)

Zombie Max pistol ammo is Critical Defence
Zombie Max .223 Rem is V-MAX
Zombie Max 7.62x39 is SST Steel Case
Zombie Max .30-30 Win is Leverevolution
Zombie Max .308 Win is A-MAX (I think it's the Superformance Match but I'm not sure)
Zombie Max 12ga 00 buckshot is Superformance 00 buckshot which is the same as their Critical Defence 00 buckshot (same velocity, pellet count, and wad)

They just replace the red insert/tip with a green one (the 12ga they just change the hull colour).

I'm waiting for the special Unicorn hunting loads from Hornady... Pink tips, silver plated brass and lilac scented boxes...

Same bullets and, I assume, powder charges as Critical Defence.

Wait until they put out a special load for hunting Velociraptors.

Stuff will be big and ugly and have sharp-pointed slugs..... and when you fire it, it will smell like Fried Chicken!
