9mm is my favorite cartridge, I have noticed the price has dropped alot in my area - I'm now watching 100 rounds packs sell for $22. Thats about the same price per round compared to premium CCI 22lr.
Right before obama was elected THE FIRST TIME, I was buying brass cased 9mm for $6.00 a box (of 50), in bulk, online. Of course I looked for sale prices, and free shipping, or an ammo box thrown in for good measure, lol.
For .22 LR, at about the same time, it was $12-$18 for a bulk pack of 500. Unless .22s were to vanish for good, I dont see them being replaced.
Of course, if you have none of either ammo on hand, and find 9mm on the shelf, and no .22s, sure, you will shoot the 9mm.
If you are talking about the price for 9mm FMJ, man you need to shop elsewhere. Here, for tula its $11 a box, for some other stuff that is tula brass, but under the name of "PERFEKT", its $13 a box. For federal, and win white box, its $15 a box.
I already had a ton of 9MM before obummer was elected the first time, so I bought 2000 rounds of Winchester Ranger T in 9MM. I also had a lot of Remington in 357Mag, and Cor-Bon in 9, 40 and 45. Had been buying over the years (1995-2008) components to reload with and am flush with all. Sorry so many did not read the smoke signals ahead of time. There is no ammo shortage at my place.
Comparing CCI mini-mags to TulaMaxx or Blazer is probably not a fair comparison. For bulk practice, I'm still finding Fed Automatch .22LR solids for ~.04/rd ($12.50 for a box of 325) somewhat regularly.
I'm not convinced. I currently get 1400 rounds of bulk .22 for $70, which translates into $.05/rd. I can't find 9mm for under $.25/rd. Even when ammo flowed like milk and honey, I couldn't find 9mm for under $.20/rd.
