For me:
9 mm - $200 or less for 1000 and I'll buy even if I already have a good amount. 
5.56/.223 - $300 or less for 1000 and I'll buy even if I already have a good amount.  (little optimistic and I don't see ammo at this price very often)

That.  I don't keep a lot of 38 special or 357 mag since I only use those for teaching and pick up a couple of bricks of 22 whenever I run out.

What's your going rate for ammunition?  As in what pricing do you look for when deciding to buy, or are willing to buy at that price?

For those of you who lost all your stuff, a hypothetical question. . .  what pricing would you buy?

Other calibers that I shop for, but don't have a good feel for current ammo pricing:
7.62x39
.357 Mag & .38 SPL
.308

Other calibers that I look for, but typically would only buy if taking someone shooting who would want to try one of those guns:
.40 S&W
.45 ACP

I remember buying Remington Thunderbolt 22LR at Sports Authority for $.99

I reload anything larger than 9mm, so assuming you're asking about general plinking type completed ammo.  To be honest, most of the major gun shops pricing is pretty similar once you hit bulk amounts.  There's only so cheap they can price it, and they can't price it to expensive, otherwise the pallet will just sit in their store.

22LR - cheap, i dont remember what the pricing structure is like for a brick.
9mm $200/1000
38 $17/50
357 $23/50
45LC $40/50
Most hunting sized rounds $1.2/1

I reload everything except .22 LR (DUH! LOL). I don't necessarily reload for cost reasons though cost does factor into it. Mostly reloading is just as much a hobby for me as shooting is. At $0.20 a round for 9mm from the LGS I can still reload 9mm for $0.12 a round with jacketed bullets. Even though the cost savings may not seem worth it, it is worth the effort for me as I enjoy making ammo. I reload .38 SPL/.357 for as little as $0.10/round with lead boolits. Which is a huge savings over LGS prices, even bulk prices. Here is the catch, as I use up my old stock of bullets, primers and powder my cost to replace these items increases. For instance, I bought SP primers when they were less than a penny a piece. I still have a few boxes but when they are gone my cost zooms up to 3 or 4 cents a piece.

For .22 I buy 3 types of ammo. Plinking, practice and target/match types. I prefer to buy CCI Blazers for plinking ammo. I have paid as little as $18/brick and as much as $25/brick. Anytime I find it for under $25 I buy some. For practice ammo I prefer CCI SV and I usually pay $35/brick. Anytime I find it for under $50 I buy some. If I find it at $35 I buy a case. For target/match ammo I prefer Eley Target, Match and Tenex as well as SK Rifle Match. I will pay around $80-$100 a brick for good quality match ammo. But I only buy a brick or two when I start running low. I only keep a couple of bricks of the good stuff at any time. When .22 ammo was almost impossible to find I bought whatever I could find. So I still have some ammo from those purchases over the last 7 years that I am trying to use up.

I'm very similar to Inspector in that I rarely buy factory ammo except for 22lr. For 22lr my prices are similar to Inspector but I have paid near $200/brick for the very high end stuff which I buy only one at a time. I always keep a little 556 and 9mm factory ammo on hand just in case. For 9mm I buy fairly good stuff @ 300/1K. For 556 I'm looking for decent brands for 300/1K. I stay away from the really cheap stuff. I buy SD rounds. I shoot reloads 95% of the time

First priority in reloading was for accuracy/precision, second was to be non-reliant on factory ammo availability (those that went through the Obama years and war times know the struggle) lastly was the cost savings.

I do too. Except that back then Thunderbolts was pretty good ammo. Now they are known as Thunderturds.

9 mm for $300/1000?  Is that JHP ammo?

Speer 147gr TMJ. I really like these and bought a couple cases years ago. I still have a bunch.

Yes, Thunderbolts  from the 90s worked well.  They were $9.95 a brick from Sports Authority.  When Clinton got into office there was a rush on ammo and you could only buy 1 brick at a time.
