I was at the gun store today and saw they had a box of .22lr rounds .They are made by CCI but they have Troy Landry's picture from the show Swamp People.They have his pic on them and underneath it says Shootem.I thought it was good marketing.Kinda like the ZombieMax bullets from hornady.I bought box just for the novelty.They are critical defense ftx bullet but instead of having a red plug in the nose of the bullet ZombieMax bullets have a green plug.Just thought they were cool and wondered if anybody else has seen them.

I've shot several boxes, the bullets were just regular 36gr hollow points.

Not that it matters, but I believe it says "choot em!"

Saw them in a Midway flyer, and ya it's just marketing, they aren't any hotter than any bulk/regular 22 LR,
