Great Ammo Shortage Of 2022: Which Bullets Are The Most Expensive?

The Great Ammo Shortage Is Evolving: What if you have to pay a dollar a round just to take some target practice on your local range? 1945 has chronicled the great ammo shortage and price increases extensively in the previous months. Let’s take a look at which calibers are sending prices through the roof. And, if you are a dedicated shooter or someone who needs to head to the range for work, you likely have a good idea what calibers I am talking about:


About 8.4 million people bought a gun for the first time last year. So, you may have already guessed that 9mm rounds are difficult to come by. They are popular with many shooters. A 9mm pistol may be the first gun that people buy. Police extensively use this round as well, leading to shortages.

The price can be upwards of a dollar a round – specifically between 80 cents and a $1.20 a bullet. 9mm Luger is somewhat easier to come by but also costs upwards of 70 cents a round.

However, one important note: depending on where you live can impact prices greatly, as there seems to be a tremendous amount of regional fluctations when it comes to the ammo shortage and ammo pricing.
