If the tips are green, then they are the Z max (zombie) bullets I stated earlier. OP is vague. Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.

Good chance the OP won't answer. Has several started threads and people ask questions but no replies. Posts a question but no follow up. Makes one wonder.
