I'm still reloading jacketed ammo for about 12.5 cents per round using up my remaining supply of pre-pandemic components. But, even if I pay current market prices for components, I figure I still would save $100+ per thousand. The cheapest 1000 round loaded ammo I see right now on SG Ammo's site is Magtech ball at $370 shipped, and it's $379 for Blazer brass and $420 if you want Winchester ball. (If they charge tax you have to add that in.) I just ordered primers at 11.5 cents per round (including tax and hazmat), and I can get jacketed bullets for about the same price in 2000 round lots. Using lead bullets should be cheaper. I'm still good on powder so I don't know what that costs now, but a pound of powder goes a long way in 9mm with something like WW231. Figure about 3 cents a round if it costs $50 a pound. That works out to about 26 cents a round. So, it still is very cost effective to load your own if you like to shoot a bunch.
