Back when .22 was .47/50 I reloaded centerfire handgun for close to that. and I'm glad I did.. the cans bounce way better. you can still reload

Totally agree.

Might be why there is a long term shortage.
I can tell you that for us, .22LT is a deal-breaker. I've literally had to change prices for classes and had to cancel two because we couldn't get it AT ALL, AT ANY PRICE a while back.
ALL of our first-time (with us) shooters start with .22 so we can judge fundamentals. For some this amounts to maybe 20 rounds or so. For others it's more like 70-100, and for some 150 or 200. Multiply that by 20 students and you see the issue. I can go through 2,000 rounds with a single class. I used to give that ammo away. Those days are long gone. And .40 or 9mm or 5.56? Good luck for anything less than extortion rates, even in bulk. (I've been known to drop several thousand on bulk buys.)
The ammo shortage has hit us very hard and our students even harder. We live in a very poor area and work as hard as we can to keep rates affordable for even the working poor. That's gone out the window with ammo prices.
Congrats hoarders: You just made responsible gun ownership harder.
