Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

Does anyone know of Steve Hornady invested heavily in biotech stocks in the last few years?....

I think it's like the sex appeal angle that some in the industry are already using. It may sell, but it plays into less-than-helpful stereotypes about gun owners.

Great marketing idea for Hornady.  All they had to do was repackage existing ammo and color it green.  They even had a little sense of humor on the packaging. 

I have a few boxes.  It is 50/50 whether the leverrevolution ammo is cheaper or the Zombiemax at most stores.

The media is making much hay about this. I guess they really don't get what we consider a "zombie".....

I was just impressed by the very even handed article, that actually went the distance to get the story from Hornady themselves that it was a marketing novelty.

Maybe they are concerned we are referring to people who sit in front of a camera and read stuff off a screen.   =D

Local media, and FNC both have had little bits on it like gun nuts are *expletive deleted*ing insane because they like buying zombie ammo.

This is one of those marketing ideas that make me wish I'd thought of it myself. It's brilliant and I applaud them.
If the rest of society can't take a joke, *expletive deleted* 'em.
