Cost is not necessarily the issue. During the shortages after Sandy Hook 9mm ammo was hard to find. I had just bought an 8# box of HP 38 at a gun show for $50, two bricks of Fiocchi small pistol primers (2500 per brick) for $30 each, and 2K Remington 115 fmjs for $100. I was shooting when nobody else was finding ammo. We didn't load 9mm before that because Walmart had 100 white box Winchester range boxes for $12, but the shortages made it worth it.
