Shotgun Ammo Prices
The 30-day change column fills in automatically as the daily historical series accumulates.
Shop current inventory in Ammunition, or download the full dataset: ammo-price-tracker.csv (the complete daily history, one row per caliber per day) and ammo-price-index.csv (the long-run wholesale-basis index, baseline = 100).
Methodology
Every figure on this page is computed from live, in-stock ammunition listings in the Blvista catalog (3,537 listings at last update, of which 2,934 parse into unambiguous price-per-round data). For each product we divide its current price (the sale price when one is active) by the round count in its packaging. Listings whose round count or caliber cannot be determined unambiguously are excluded rather than estimated, as are implausible outliers. A caliber is published only when at least five in-stock loads back its statistics. Prices refresh throughout the day; a snapshot is stored once per day for the historical series. This reflects one retailer's catalog, sourced from a major national distributor, so it tracks real market availability rather than advertised prices that may be out of stock. The “Long run” column is a separate long-run series: a wholesale-basis index built from periodic distributor snapshots (each caliber's earliest snapshot = 100, most reaching back to April 2025). It is published as an index only; absolute wholesale prices are never shown.
