Have been using ammoseek.com. a few weeks ago managed to get 1000 rounds of 9mm Blazer brass for .29 per round, which I thought was very high, but now the cheapest there is .59 and up... This too shall pass, but kinda scary at this point.
My best bet has just been going to my local academy twice a week when their trucks come in. It's hit and miss what's available. I've been buying ammo for guns I've recently inherited but didn't stock ammo for before like .38spl & .357. Then it's just buying what I shoot and what I shoot is dictated by what's on the truck that week. But I was able to pick up 400 rounds of .223 for a carbine course I did back in July. They had federal red box bulk packs of .223. They had 800 round bricks of .22 a couple weeks ago with no purchase limit so I bought 5 bricks. That's my practice ammo for the next 6 months.
9mm, while not plentiful, has been available regularly. In the last 2 weeks I've picked up 6 boxes of 124gr and 6 boxes of 115gr and at regular prices of about $11 - $12/50. That's a little higher than normal. Usually they'd have something on sale for around $10 a box or a little less.
What I really need is more AE XM80 7.62 NATO. That's what I have my FAL tuned to run and only have about 200 rounds left out the last ammo can I bought. Although this year's Cold War rifle match has been cancelled. I guess I could have run my PTR this year. It will eat steel cased .308 all day and I've got at least 600 rounds of that left.
.223 is getting ridiculous. Even steel cased junk is near $0.60 a round.
I see small pistol primers out there, so maybe look at getting a press? I managed to grab some 5,000 large pistol primers recently. Feeling a little more secure in my ability to at least fuck around at the range until the insanity ends.

.308 WIN is about $1.25 and up.
.338 Win Mag is still the same price. At least Elk season isn't going to cost an arm and a leg...
...err, any more than it does .
308 is as high as I'm willing to go for availability/price.
Last week I grabbed 200 rounds for $.52/round. I should have bought more.
You should have cleaned out the place, if allowed to.
