Win Super Match

[Geno C.]

A guy I know has 2 cases of Win. Super Match in the yellow box. He coaches the local ROTC rifle team and let me shoot some of it back to back with everything they use and the best that I have. This stuff is awesome! Out of a stock Quad barrel they are going one on top of the other from the 50ft line, and not even off a bench! Has anyone else had any experience with this ammo? The cases that he is going to sell me are about 20 years old and I don't think they make it anymore.

They don't make it and it is somewhat collectible, best to sell it and buy Eley or Lapua as it will do the same.

Re: Win Super Match

It's more valuable now as a collector's item than it is as a shooting item. You could probably sell it to a collector and buy shooting ammo and maybe still have some money left over.

Re: Win Super Match

The guy is only asking $1500 for 2 cases and he said the Eley that they use goes for about $1800 for one case.

Thanks Hilbillee, thats about what I thought. It's a good deal but not a steel. I like the fact that this gun is a sleeper now at the range. This thing is hanging with the really expensive target guns with this ammo!

Re: Win Super Match

Western Super Match Mk III will group as well as the older Eley Tenex or newer EPS Match in a match rifle. I have about 400rds left of it that I picked up at Camp Perry about 15 years ago.

You've gotten sound advice regarding this ammo. It can be resold to a collector or a rimfire match shooter who is Hell-bent on using it.

Re: Win Super Match

I like old stuff, so I guess I will buy it. I don't know if I'll ever shoot it much but I have it if I ever want to, right?

Re: Win Super Match

Thankfully I bought a house last spring that is way too big! If I ever run out of room here for gun stuff, then I must have won the lotto!
