The spread between lower- and higher-priced listings (about $0.757 per round here) reflects differences in pack size, bullet type, and brand within the .223 Remington category: bulk cases and basic range loads sit toward the lower end of the range, while small packs and specialty loads sit toward the upper end. The numbers describe what is currently listed, not any single product.

All prices are observed daily-best per-round figures from tracked online retailers, in stock at the time of observation. Coverage varies by retailer and source, and in-store or local pricing is not included. The underlying history is append-only, so past observations are never overwritten.
