Got my Z-max's in today and started to work up some loads. IMR4064 stating at 27gr and with CFE223 I am starting at 28gr. Using 2.31 COL on all, win brass and primers being used. Dose anyone else have any load info they would like to share?

Don't have any info to share, but I'd like to know how your loads turn out. What kinda groups you get and of course how they perform on a coyote. Keep us posted.

I'm led to believe that they are just a V-max with a different color polymer tip. I have not confirmed this, but it's what I've been told.

Right, the zmax is just a vmax with a different color plastic tip.

You know, so they will do more damage to the zombies than the red tip bullets.

You believe that don't you?
