3 bucks a pop sounds reasonable considering there's probably 1 .500 to a few mil of 9mm

Reasonable in terms of what? $3 a shot for ammo...??? If it is .500 S&W
Magnum, it is $1.50 to $2.00 a round for "ordinary" name brand ammo.
That's still about five times what I pay for good ammo for my AR 15 or
..357 MAG revolver.

I think it is more of a bragging rights firearm than anything really
useful for either target shooting or defense against grizz.

3 bucks a whack was when it was introduced. Don't know what it is now. I don't have one and don't want one. That is unless it's a bolt action long gun. And yes it's not a production for the masses so the expense justifies for the product.

Speaking of "reasonable" I have about 3 thousand rounds of .223 I've collected over the years. Average price was .11c a round.

How much are you paying, Harry?

My "favorite" cheap .223 ammo is Wolf Gold, for which I'd be paying 29
cents a round, if I were buying any. I have a ton of it, though,
probably as much as you have...a few thousand rounds. I like it because
it is clean firing, reliable, brass cased, non-ferrous FMJ, and accurate
enough for me. There's more accurate target ammo out there, but I'm
damned close to where I want to be with the Wolf. When everything is
right, I can shoot a couple of 1" groups at 100 yards, though most of my
groups seem stuck at 1-1/2". That's using a bag as a rest, not offhand.

This is what I'm using, mostly:

About half that...
