They have come down some, and more are available than previously. Who knows what the next year or so will bring? Better to have some than not IMO, so if I was short, I’d pop for some and use them judiciously, just as I do with .410 shells for clays, or save them and shoot cheap factory more often, or .22s. You can get 9mm for $.25 and .223 for $.50-.$60 if you shop around and look for sales and free shipping.
I stocked up on 9mm and 223 when i could get 124 grain 9mm for 10 cents, 55 grain 223 for 21 cents, 62 grain for 27 with free shipping. Primers were cheap too but i didnt need any. Sad that i just opened my last brick of 7 dollar 550 22lr packs from wallyworld in 06.
I dont look for prices to drop much under the 60-70 buck range based on price increases since 90’s. Hell CCI BR series went from 32 bucks to 55 bucks after Obummer but people still buy em.
