How much is it?

My Glenfield 60 likes the Winchester Super X as well as it likes Mini Mags.

 

Don't know how Super X is now, but 10 plus years ago it was very high quality ammo. it was used for hunting and some general target shooting, it was Winchesters premier stuff, no bulk ammo back then, you just bought a brick or a case if you could.. I did not know too may guys that plinked with it, a lot of guys used Remington GB for plinking, hunting and general shooting though.

BTW; Back 15 years ago or more the Remington Golden Bullet was a very good 22. I have no idea what happened to their QC.

8.99 per 100 box.

 

At that price, I'd buy a brick. I don't think it's as good as CCI Minimags, but it's definitely a decent hunting plinking ammo and in bores that like it, you can get fine precision.

 

I have used cci alot and it always functions well. 8.99 per 100 puts it right there with cci. Hard to find premium ammo around here. 9 bucks may just be the new price!

 

If you can get any, the Australian manufactured Winchester export is good stuff! :t

 

They shot good for me thirty years ago, so yes I would try some Super X Hollow Points at 8.99 per hundred.

Good Luck with them!

 

Yes. Good stuff.

 

I buy 0 from that company, new.

 

I rank that ammo about the same as Remington GB or thunderbolts. I'm getting about the
same amount of FT fire with these. Also they so far have cycled ok in my 15-22 they
are only 50% reliable in my SR22 and 1911-22 pistols. The empty case wants to stick
in the chambers on both. Sometimes the case won't extract at all and sometimes it
drags enough to cause a jam. Also I find it no better than the 555 bulk Winchester.

I bought 2500 at 7.99/100. a few months ago.

 

Super X has been good stuff in all my rifles and handguns. Next to CCI Minimags, it's what I try to keep on hand.

 

I only buy the Super X Power Points from Winchester now.

 

Super-X was good stuff when it came in the 100-round plastic boxes. When Winchester started putting them in the 50-round cardboard boxes, quality went downhill.

 

Back 20 years ago plus or so it came in 50 round boxes, old school. It was very good ammo.

superX at wal mart

red plastic 100 rd box, about $9.00. i havent shot any of it yet, box states 1330FPS so it is a little faster than normal HV LR. i have 3 boxes, hope it shoots good!

 

I've found winny ammo to always be pretty consistent,I like the Power Point the best it anchors about anything with a well placed shot, I shot a deer on the highway with it,Legal for me on a call, deer needed to be humanely euthanized,power point went clean through a sizable bucks noggin.

 

I have had generally good luck with it. The only problem I have had with it is in extremely cold weather (<15 degrees), when the bullets would often leave the barrel slower than a BB from a Daisy. The noise from the muzzle report would be almost zero and the bullet would often not make it to 50 yard rabbits. Maybe just a bad lot of ammo, but it was really weird (and a recipe for a bore-lodged bullet!)

 

bad ammo



this is not normal, sounds like you got some defective rounds. what does it do when it is warmer?

 

The gun not us



It's the gun that decides which ammo it likes.

 

Thanks!

I was able to get out and test the winchester x in both 37 grain h.p's and the 40 grain r.n's and it functioned well in my marlin 60 and my 10/22. 9.00 a hundred just is too much money but it appears to be the new price to pay for good ammo.

 

Win. Super-X was great ammo 15 to 30 years ago when I used it. High quality ammo. I used nothing but Win. Super-X HV 37gr HP and 40gr RN in my semi-auto 22's because it was the most accurate round I could find at the time, and the most cost effective in the 100rd plastic boxes. I have not used it for about 14 years because I got out of rimfire for a a decade or more, so I don't now how it is today, but it was shooting the same as Mini Mags for me back then.

Just be aware that there are 2 kinds of Win. Super-X High Velocity today. The Super-X PowerPoint, and the regular/less expensive Super-X. PowerPoints are supposed to be better and cost $1-$2 more per 100 than those "SuperSpeed" 1300-1330fps. I was lucky to find a box of PowerPoints for $9.95 a few months ago. It shoots just as good or better than Mini Mags in my rifles. It is very consistent. Winchester does not make too many PowerPoints these days so they are hard to find. But the Super-X SuperSpeed 1330fps seem to be much more readily available, especially at Walmart and other big box stores.

I do not shoot bulk pack ammo except for the Federal 745 once in a while, but I do not consider the Winchester bulk packs "Super-X", and they do not advertise them as such. The M22 I shot was pretty average for me, and not as good as the Super-X PowerPoint box I bought recently, so I traded the M22 for other ammo with a friend who was in need of .22LR.

I have said this before as well as many others here. I would not judge ammo too much these days until the ammo situation stabilizes. I think manufacturers are mass producing ammo way too fast to meet the demand, and at the same time have sacrificed QC considerably. I never had any FTF's with ammo I purchased prior to 2013. In 2013 I had several FTF's including CCI Standard Velocity. An entire CCI SV brick was "bad", with 3 or more duds in every other 50 round box. That does not mean I will not purchase CCI SV again. It's just the times we live in. Too much ammo is rolling out the doors not properly checked. It is also being manufactured by new inexperienced employees they hired to keep the machines running and producing ammo at night or 24x7. Case in point the Win. M22 recall and others.

When I started shooting IHMSA in '87 it was one of the most popular ammos at my club. Most guys went to more premium ammo as the years passed. When I switched from shooting centerfire to rimfire for field pistol I was hitting rams and not knocking them down with standard velocity so I went back to 40gr Super X. Rams go down and they are very accurate in my 10" T/C contender. They also shoot as well as any high velocity in most rifles I've tried them in. Until the recent ammo situation I got them regularly in the 50 round paper boxes. Down to a brick now. Wish I could find some

 

So far they seem OK in my new SP101. They don't seem to be wanting to stick in the
chambers like they do in my auto pistols.

 

Super X

I bought some Super-x T22 match ammo last fall when I was testing ammo for a pair of new (old) rifles. I tested about a dozen different brands such as Hansen, Aquilla, Eley, Russian Junior, Lapua, Wolf, SK, etc. The Super-X grouped worse than all the others printing 1"+ sized groups at 50yds. I had two cases stick in the chamber and three rounds that failed to fire. Not impressed.

It did seem to have higher velocity than any of the other std vel ammo with a higher POI.

8.99 per 100 box

When they are in stock, they are 24.99 a brick at Walmart.

I lucked into one brick at the end of last year. Seriously. I came by looking at the exact moment... in the middle of the afternoon... that the guy was putting them out. That was the only 22lr that I saw in the last 13 months.
