Can't speak for all of the ammo listed but;

9mm:  Anything less than $20 / 50 round box.  Found some the other day for $16 / box fmj 50 rounds. 
.22: Is going as low as $23 for a brick to as high as $80 plus / brick.  I would not pay more than $50 / brick.
.17 hmr:  you can find it on sale all day long for $10/box of 50.  Full price is $13-$18/box of 50 depending on make.  I have seen no shortage of .17 hmr.

A loaded question, no pun intended! Whatever your willing to pay or NOT pay. and how long to wait for that price.

Ammo and component prices are still up over the overage. People who purchased 6 months or so ago or earlier. We're well prepared, depends on what someone's willing to pay at the current time. I know someone that currently has a 100,000 rounds plus on hand of assorted ammunition and is moving it as quick as the next shipment rotates in. It would flat shock people at what he has profited in the last 60 days(Flat shock!) It's a super hot commodity acr
oss the nation right now. People want it no matter what and they will pay what ever the price. Anything you have firearms wise is Frikn worthless if you can't feed it.

Agree with you Jreb.In my network, outside of my store, see a lot of guys helping each other and keeping people supplied. When I see stores selling, say, m8o ball 7.62 for $1.40 a round, makes me cringe. But if people are willing to pay that? Let em..there is supply and demand and what the market will bear, then theres the un-informed buying and paying out of fear..either way, well, this IS still America, isnt it! :-)

.410 shotshells (birdshot hunting shells) if you can get them around $10-12 a box is a good price.

45 colt (real loads not cowboy mouse farts), if i can find it for about or less than $0.75/round i will pick up a box

Good luck.  Wait it out, keeping checking the stores and with friends.
Do not and I do not support the "flippers".  It's not capitolism, it's scalping, and we're are literally shooting ourselves in the foot by succumbing to these people.
If you can't find ammo at the store, then don't shoot.  Easy peasy. 
I mean "holy crap" there on people on GunBroker paying or willing to pay $175 for 1500 rounds of Rem. Bulk .22 ammo. 
If we stop buying from unscrupulous sellers, maybe we can see the store shelves slowly start to fill back up. 
Just think about it for a bit.

For example, this is one seller. Note the "reserve" on what should be $60-$70 worth of ammo!
And people are actually bidding on this.

I'm just gonna wait till this scare is over, then when every place has ammo blowing out of their ears, buy it up cheap.
There's more than one way to skin a cat, but that cat won't like any of them...
