Zombie ammo from Hornady, just in time for Halloween
« on: October 02, 2011, 11:16:21 AM »
Saw this posted on Arfcom.  No, I have no idea if it's real.  But it's AWESOME.  They need to make it in 6.8 SPC for my Zombie Killer SBR.

I'd buy it in 9mm, 45, 5.56, 30-30... It'd be nice if you could get them in tracer rounds too.  8)

They are just haveing WAAAAY too much fun with this.
That being said, if anyone finds where to order any let me know, a Google search led me to alot of articles about the release, but none for sale.

When/where was that? I didn't see it at my last Cabela's trip, so I mail ordered some from CTD. I may have to pick up more for S&Gs

the Zombie ammo was by the handgun ammo.  there wasn't too much left.  they might have been out.  i didn't see any at Lincoln Scheels.  if you want to get some more, i may get some too and we can split shipping, if its cost effective.
