Before the gunophobes went all pollyanna about gun banning expecting it will result in a safer kumbaya-ness, the price of ammo was 10.99 to 13.99 for 9mm per 50 and 1-2 bucks more for 380, and 40 cal per 50 in my neck of the woods. Now the prices are 2-4 dollars higher if it is available (more available in 9mm here). As far as effectiveness of the rounds, the FBI and LEO's have pretty much settled those topics. While hitting the cpu or main hydraulics works well. I imagine 22 bird shot in the face from a little 22 single action revolver hitting the eyes is nothing to blink at! Like they say, "a well placed BB is better than a 50 cal miss."
