SendRounds Ammo Index
Live listings update daily. The Buy Score comes from daily SendRounds product data and freshness checks.
Historical data comes from archived r/gundeals posts. Monthly history is context for comparison, not the current score source.
Market Pressure tracks sourced events that could push ammo prices up or tighten availability. It does not change the Buy Score unless retailer prices, deals, or freshness change.

How the index works
The V1 Buy Score combines current price basket, deal depth, and data freshness into a single 0-100 score. Higher = better buying conditions. Market Pressure is published separately and does not change the score. Monthly history remains historical context while V1 uses current daily product data when a daily snapshot is available.
About this index
The SendRounds Ammo Index separates the current Buy Score from Market Pressure. The Buy Score is based on current retailer product data, while monthly history remains historical context for long-term comparison.
Buy Score uses true-cost listing data when shipping estimates are reliable. Taxes are not included because they vary by buyer and state. 100 = strongest buyer conditions. 0 = poorest buyer conditions.
