Week 41.
So, I’d like to address the casing type. At this point (with only 11 more weeks of this experiment), adding in any additional vectors would literally double (at the least) the work. Not all of the vendors clearly identify casing which then necessitates manually parsing the descriptions of each listing. Yes, some are obvious, but not all are. The overall goal is to find the lowest-price, new ammo from as many vendors as possible to show a long term trend (12 months), which we can then map against timeline events (like problems in Ukraine, or mass shootings, etc), and determine whether or not ammo prices *actually* increase as a result, or if we just think they do. The supposition is if there is a true run on ammo, it will be irregardless of case type. While I appreciate that some people are using this weekly article as a way to scope out quick deals, the overall purpose is long term collection… 🙂
Given the current proposal with the BATFE and M855 I expect we will see a spike in prices for .223 Rem as everyone scrambles to “stock” up on mere speculation–the ammo is not currently banned. But the shock purchasing is going to deplete the supply and likely drive all .223 Rem prices us.
Also new this week, I found new brand (to me–I’ve never heard of it): Pobjeda Technology. Lucky Gunner has it…
