Hi all! In response to feedback we have added a few more features to the TFB Ammo Feed. We have made a number of tweaks to the interface fonts and colors with some minor tweaks to the filter box for a better experience. But the big new feature is the ability to: [Read More…]
We made tons of changes to the TFB Ammo Feed this past week in response to YOUR feedback. We are actively looking at the surveys and updating the feed based on what you are telling us (and things you are asking for). Changes In This Version: Added ability to [Read More…]
.223 Rem seems to be stabilizing after the scare--a short term run that didn't really tax manufacturing capabilities. What seemed a little more odd this week is that .22LR is creeping up again. Most places are $0.12/rd and greater (which is silly). Other prices and [Read More…]
Week 43. Well, .223 Rem appears to be running low–at least the number of vendors (of the ones I’ve been following) don’t have the stock they did. A number of the vendors aren’t even listing it. Woohoo for all of the panic buyers. I imagine that [Read More…]
Week 42. So, despite the panic runs on M855 it looks like all non M855 is holding fine–I’m not seeing much difference in pricing for lowest in caliber for .223 Rem. We do appreciate the support and constructive comments and will continue this article series [Read More…]
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 [Read More…]
Week 40. We’re back! We figured that a couple of weeks off was okay since we’d be flooded with SHOT posts and it would be lost in the shuffle. We are in the last quarter of this experiment and overall the response has been pretty supportive. Hopefully the [Read More…]
Welcome to our third quarter summary rollup including data from the previous 39 weeks of data collection. We have presented the data in a few different ways. We have a breakdown of the vendors that are consistently low and high. We are showing the lowest and highest [Read More…]
Week 38. I hope you all had a good holiday and you were gifted tons of ammo! This week also be on the lookout for the 3rd quarter summary… We do appreciate the support and constructive comments and will continue this article series as long as it is productive. As [Read More…]
Week 37. Next week will be the 3rd quarter summary. I have hopes that Santa has corrected the .22LR supply/demand imbalance. The past week I have seen .22LR at several local retailers (and there were not hordes of ammo scavs grabbing it as soon as it hit the shelves). [Read More…]
Week 36. Terrible price on 1000 round lots of .22LR. Despite that, more vendors have slight decreases in price per round than have increases. So, go out and buy ammo as holiday gifts for people… 🙂 We do appreciate the support and constructive comments and will [Read More…]
Week 35. A lot of prices are up this week–must be pre-holiday price raising. Still, ammo makes a great Christmas/Hanukkah/[Insert Holiday of Choice]/etc. gift, and with the lower gas prices, maybe there is some extra cash to put toward shooting… We do [Read More…]
Week 34. Well, no super great deals for Black Friday. Which is technically good for the trending data (since we don’t want the data skewed), but not as good for people looking for bargains. That said, a number of you have mentioned the use of search engines for [Read More…]
Week 33. 500 rounds of 9mm for under $100 at SG Ammo–that is the cheapest I’ve seen in a while. Other than that, not a whole lot of changes. Hopefully next week we will see some “Black Friday Deals”… 🙂 We do appreciate the support and [Read More…]
Week 32. Nothing super exciting going on this week. Which is a good thing. Buy ammo. Go shoot… 🙂 I’m going to be restocking some of my stores in the next few weeks so I’ll post how my experiences went (there was a discussion on last week’s [Read More…]
Week 31. Again .22LR is coming in around $0.10/rd. And I agree with a number of the comments from last week. You can find bricks cheap locally in a lot of places. Which is going to be really important for a review I have coming out in a couple of weeks… It looks [Read More…]
Week 30. Run for it. Munire has .22lr for $0.10/rd. But only 202 500rd bricks in stock (at the time of compilation of this data). Otherwise, ammo prices seem to be holding pretty constant. We do appreciate the support and constructive comments and will continue this [Read More…]
Week 29. I hope you didn’t miss the break last week too much. I was out of pocket, enjoying Lake Bridgeport in Texas, without internet. It doesn’t look like the prices of ammo collapsed or skyrocketed in my absence. I did find some .22LR for $0.07/rd, but [Read More…]
Week 28. We have a clear winner with .38 Special. Also Ammunition To Go is really sweeping the board this week with cheaper ammo. And Munire is sporting some $0.09/round .22LR. Almost like seeing a unicorn… We do appreciate the support and constructive comments [Read More…]
Week 27. Okay. So based on an equal number of votes for each (that would be 2 votes) between .357 mag/.38spc, .30-06, and keeping 300BLK, what I am going to do is this. I’ll keep 300BLK as it takes really no work (it’s not very useful for trending but has a [Read More…]
Week 26 of data! Look out for the Mid Year Summary also posted today. There has not been a clear winner for a new caliber to replace 300BLK. There is still time to vote in the comments…! We do appreciate the support and constructive comments and will continue this [Read More…]
Week 25. Next will will be the quarterly trending and summary! Interesting ammo news this week too… The Brady Center announced that they will be filing a lawsuit against online ammo retailers that they claim supplied the Aurora theater shooter with ammo (among [Read More…]
Week 23. It seems like there was less pistol available around the net this week. Plenty of .223 Rem and 7.62x39mm though. 22LR is still challenging to find in bulk. Again, keep up the voting on which caliber you would like to see added next quarter. We do appreciate the [Read More…]
Week 22. Looks like Fiocchi is putting out 300BLK to distributors now–there are several vendors with some. And 22LR is even more “stupid” expensive. Did something happen recently that depleted the stock? .223 Rem is all over the board this week. Brass [Read More…]
Week 21. What other calibers would you like to see starting next quarter? So far there have been requests for: 6.8 SPC and 38 Special? Vote for your favorites in the comments. Also, I should be bringing back Freedom Munitions (as well as a couple of others) into the [Read More…]
Week 20. So some of the tweaking did pull in some odd results, and I obviously did not check every link (1000 rd tumbler, etc…). I went a little more conservative with the data this week and spot checked a lot more. My overall goal is to add more data points so [Read More…]
Week 19. We have added a whole bunch of new vendors and adjusted the process a bit. If you notice anything strange please let us know in the comments. Hopefully the tweaks have not impacted the overall data. We do appreciate the support and constructive comments and [Read More…]
Week 18. There was basically an even amount of price increases vs. price decreases across all of the vectors, so no real movement or spikes that are noteworthy. Ammoman has free shipping and it looks like some of the 7.62x39mm from SWVA Arms also qualifies. We do [Read More…]
Week 17. So, it appears that prices are generally moving a bit up. We have more vendors that have increased prices on calibers than have lowered. .223 Rem and .308 Win have taken the brunt of the increases. The Armory contacted me and wanted me to let everyone know that [Read More…]
Week 16. A couple of the vendors contacted me today and wanted to pass on that they are seeing a run on ammo right now, likely due to the sanctions that were recently announced. Also given some of the other world events within the past couple of days we may see some [Read More…]
