Not necessarily, .25, .32, .380 all cost more than 9mm. .45 can be had for less than .38 or .357. The 180 gr .40 I buy doesn't cost any more than the 165gr stuff.
That's part of the supply/demand bit that I mentioned. I'm sure there are metric a** tons of 9MM produced, which offsets the price a bit. Where do you get your .40? Mine is always a few bucks more for 180.
Another thing to consider is availability. While generally you can pretty much find FMJ for any caliber now (not so much for the last couple years) you can almost ALWAYS find any variation of 9mm ammo you may want while some of the other calibers will have limited selection.
That's a really good point, and not at all to be taken lightly.
I remember that the local Sportsman's Warehouse (when it was still that) had bare shelves for MONTHS on end. When things did come in, it didn't stay on the shelf for even a day.
