$12/50 9mm is still high. Prior to 2020 50 9mm was ~$8.
20 5.56 was $4.50 for range ammo and currently around $8.50/20
In the next few years it'll come down substantially and then something will happen and they'll skyrocket again. It's how gun life has been for the past 30-40 years.
Keep in mind that some of that will be inflation, which we've had an unusually large amount of recently.

$8 in December 2019 has the buying power of $9.58 in September 2023.
