.500 S&W Market Analysis
.500 S&W Magnum's market price index compares posted prices for the same products over time, whether they are in stock or sold out. The latest index is 0.2% above 30-day avg. The current signal is HOLD; it measures market pricing, not a discount on an individual offer.
The index starts at 100 for each comparable series. Price changes are combined using equal-weight geometric price ratios. New or disappearing listings do not create a price change. If no products match between observations, the chart starts a separate series and does not infer a return across that break. Available records span 2026-04-05 through 2026-10-26.
For shopping now, the lowest in-stock price is $3.749 per round at Velocity Ammo Sales. 1 of 2 current listings are in stock across 1 retailers.
Quotes come from the existing retailer checks. Dates without observations are not filled in. Posted dollar medians are available in the history table; unlike the index, they can change with the product mix. Prices exclude shipping and tax. Check the retailer's page before purchasing.
