It seems like it's getting more common too. Not only are the 9mm more common, but other calibers. Some folks on a Texas board that I'm on have started seeing .380 bullets too.
The internet/mailorder ammo dealers are pricing 50-round boxes of 9mm for $20 (S&B stuff, nothing special) to $40.

That is 2X the 50-round for $10 at WMT you're seeing.

A substantial part of the gun industry is gouging the hell out of their panicked customers. I hope you all remember them kindly when the ammo boom is over and ammo sellers are hungry for business again.
