Funny statistic on Ammoseek this evening...

Possibly less "searching" for more popular calibers?

I’ve heard the .577 Snyd is the new Creedmoor!

You'd be amazed what one kid with no life and a homemade searchbot can do to mess up someone's stats.

Speaking as someone who once received 14 robocalls in a single hour thanks to someone else who either hated me sight-unseen or couldn't program his gear properly, I don't get as amazed by this kind of weirdness as I once did.

However, .577 Snider? Hilarious dude!!

Is there a CCW for that?

Great news! I can’t wait for the resurgence of the .375 H&H Flanged... its gotta be breathing down the old .577 Snyder’s neck...

Stay safe.

Yeah, but were all the *searches* performed by live people and of the live people, how many searched more than once?

I figure in the end, Ammoseek knows what their doing and while I'll keep my own powder dry and watch the world turn, I recognize that electro-ammo-marketing is their dominion.

Words are fun!

In point of fact, I find the returns fascinating and would love to know the facts behind them.

Was an article written? A blog? Etc...?

Have people so given up on searching for the *normal* ammo that those numbers for the rarities have always been there but have now risen significantly?

Or, have a passel of basement-trapped S.A.D. inflicted gun-nuts just gone on a Red Bull propelled, forum-fantasy binge?

Todd.

I have to wonder if it's an artifact of people poking the Sort Function on the Quantity Available axis.

Or, it's my fault for looking for .50-110-300 sharps for my derringer []

Considering that .577 Snider probably hasn’t been produced commercially in over a century.......?

Guessing it’s a bug.

Either that or IMA paid someone somewhere to write a blog post extolling the virtues of the single shot hand loaded Snider as a post-apocalyptic survival rifle and 25 people all searched for it at the same time.

I need a Tranter revolver in that caliber

Maybe people on Reddit r/obsoletecartridges are disrupting the ammo hoarding market.

I just screwed up Midways algorithms when I searched primers 200 times (probably) going back and forth trying to get SPP to add to my cart! No luck.

As cool as the .577 Tranter cartridge most assuredly was, ...

... how about a Howdah pistol in .577 Snider?

Can you say arthritis?

What da ya mean 30 cal carbine didn't make the top 20?

WOW ! Yes a Lancaster Howdah would fill the bill ! Or one of these! However in the revolver I guess it uses a shorter cased load
