A little while ago I posted a thread about these new Winchester SuperX packaged in the same style 100rd plastic box as the CCI MiniMags. They seem to be priced similar also, maybe just a little less, which tells me they are trying to compete directly with MiniMags. Well I had a chance to shoot them both yesterday and here's a range report.
An interesting thing to note on the boxes is that Winchester claims a heavier bullet and 70fps more velocity:

Win on the left, CCI on the right:

The CCI looks to me like higher consistency/quality:

So the first thing I do is run about 5 rounds of each through through my chrono and they both range throughout the 1200s, averaging towards the high 1200s. I didn't do any math but I didn't notice any discernible difference in velocity between the two products. This was through my stock 10/22, I think it's an 18" barrel.
Then I shot a 5 shot group with the MiniMags and got this:

Then I immediately did the same with the SuperX (after one fouling shot) and got this:

Conditions were late afternoon, no wind. I was shooting off my range bag from 50yds through my 10/22 with the mounted 2X shotgun scope that lives on it (great combo IMHO BTW). Considering the pattern that I got with the SuperX (two close pairs, etc.) I thought something might be going on with my optics so I shot another 5 shot group with MiniMags and got almost as good a group as the first, I had 2 just barely outside the center ring. I forgot to do a fouling shot switching back to the MiniMags too. So either the SuperX plain suck or my 10/22 just doesn't like them.
YMMV
