I believe the new price for .22LR ammo is 7¢ to 8¢ a round for plinking ammo with some good sales at 6¢ a round. I think 9mm will stay at $10/50 and .40S&W and .45ACP will remain at present levels. I believe they've hit their new bottom.
Hopefully .223/556 ammo will come down a little more and .308 a lot more before it settles in. .380 ACP will stay ridiculously high due to demand from all the pocket guns being sold. I think the imported com bloc ammo will continue to climb as supplies continue to get tighter... load up now or regret it forever.
Reloading components.... well, primers are out there but still not cheap enough. I stocked up when Cabela's had them for $17.99 around Christmas but $30/1000 seems to be the norm. I still can't walk into very many LGSs and find Bullseye on the shelf and pistol powder is spotty. Prices seem to be around $20/lb but if they don't have it the price is irrelevant. The shortage of pistol powders is a mystery.
If we get close to election time and the She Witch is close to getting in, we'll see a run like in 13 and if we (God forbid) have another carnage, all bets are off.
