Winchester Super Match

Professional
New Competition Ammunition for Pistol, Rifle and Shotgun

Super Match launches with 19 loads across centerfire pistol, centerfire rifle and 12-gauge shotshell.
Seven handgun loads ship in 50-round boxes.
The venerable 9 mm gets four of them, split between bullet profiles: 115-grain and 124-grain round nose, plus 115-grain and 147-grain flat nose. Winchester’s reasoning is the same argument shooters have been having in club parking lots for years—flat noses tend to punch cleaner holes and score better on the line, round noses tend to feed and cycle with fewer questions. Rather than pick a side, the company loaded both. Above 9 mm, the lineup goes to major:
.38 Super Auto +P 130-grain flat nose,
.40 S&W 180-grain flat nose and
.45 Auto 230-grain round nose.

Rifle forks in two directions. For gas guns, there is a .223 Rem. 69-grain BTHP and a 5.56 mm NATO 77-grain BTHP.

Precision shooters get seven more, all in 20-round boxes: .308 Win. with 168-grain BTHP and 175-grain BC Max options, 7.62 mm NATO 175-grain BTHP, 6.5 Creedmoor in 140-grain BTHP and 140-grain BC Max, 6.5 PRC 140-grain BC Max and 6 mm ARC 107-grain BTHP.

Three shotshells finish the line, all 12-gauge. Clay and paper work gets 1-1/8 ounces of #7.5 at 1,235 fps, 25 to a box. Steel and multigun stages get nine-pellet 00 buck at 1,300 fps, also in 25-count boxes, plus a 1-ounce rifled slug at the same velocity packed 10 to the box.

At one time, long long ago, Winchester Super match and it's Western counterparts was some of the best target ammo available. Their .22 Rimfire offerings were legendary. Unfortunately, W-W's ammo along with Remington's didn't keep up with the competition needs and fell by the wayside allowing Eley, Lapua and others to take the market.

I hope this is really good match grade ammunition and not advertising hype.
