Got the SG ammo email today and did additional research on 380. And I want to point out some BIG differences in these web sites BIG differences in cost. AmmoSeek.Com has by far the cheapest 380 anywhere, as cheap as 37cents per round in bulk.
The ammo listed by the OP appears to be just normal HP ammo, $16 per 20 rounds is 80 cents per round. The ammo listed by SG ammo historically is bulk ammo and priced accordingly but not so lately. Staying with known brands for example, the S and B is good stuff, I have been shooting it in many calibers for more than 30 years. Two years ago I bought 10 boxes for about $14 a box at Sportsmans Guide and that was a few months into Covid. None to be found now. The current add from SG is for PMC which I have also fired for 30 or more years in many calibers, good stuff but this is ball ammo. That is 68 cents per round, bulk. Not good.
The S and B which I prefer is also 68 cents per round, sounds like price fixing to me.

That is $34 for a box of 50. The $16 ammo the OP listed is $16 for 20 but at least those are hollow points. Some may argue with the limited penetration of the 380 that ball is just as effective and the HP ammo, I prefer the HP anyway. I shot a wound deer in the middle of highway once with Federal Hydroshoks and they worked great. FWIW
So, back to BulkCheapAmmo.com . They only list 5 brands of ammo under 50 cents per round. Of course you have to look at shipping to see if it is a better deal, but brands under 50 cents per are: S and B, PMC, CCI Blazer, Winchester and Fiocci, with purchase of single boxes.
AmmoSeek.com has Blazer and Tula ammo for 37 cents each when buying 1,000 rounds.
380 Auto Ammo | Cheap 380 Auto Ammunition - AmmoSeek.com 2022 In fact
ammo seek has about 50 brands of 380 ammo for under 50 cents per round.
Anyway, that is the cost of 380 today not cheap. Another thing I noticed is that on Bulk Cheap the cheapest Wolf brand is about 70 cents per round. Ammo seek has several of the import steel case brands for under 40 cents per round.
Just saying, I looked at the 3 sites and prices were all over the place for ball ammo, from 37 cent on Ammo Seek to 68 cents on S and G. Buying bulk or as we do get 2-3 guys to go together and buy bulk will also get you free shipping. These ammo prices for 380 are not going away anytime soon. My 2 cents.
