I plan to buy a thousand rounds of 9mm FMJ for practice, but dont expect to have time to shoot much until at least December or January.

Ammo prices have been trending down since early this year ($1/round was egregious). Currently prices are floating between 34-38¢/round for bulk brass 9mm FMJ. What's everyone gut prediction for ammo prices? Buy now because you expect them to rise over the next 5-6 months? Or hold off and wait for prices to continue dropping? In either case I wont have time to go to the range much in the interim.

Ammo prices earlier this year were definitely driven by demand outstripping supply. I'm trying to get a sense of whether supply has caught up with demand so that prices are dictated by inflation as you mentioned, or if there's still pent up demand that's keeping prices high.

E.g. the last time I bought 9mm FMJ was back in March when ammo (if you could find it at all) was circa $1/round. That price wasn't inflation so much as panic buying because of election rigging and the prospect of more Burn Loot Murder rioters.
