Hornady's website does not mention ZMax anymore, not looking good if you are a fan. Better buy up big if you find any left.

Have found that they shoot really well in my howa and price point wise they are hard to go past. Did have they eldx in large stock in the same area but twice the price.

Aren’t they just an amax with a green tip? If so the amax’s are sadly over.
At what point does lack of maintenance become patina?
