Why do you think it should be the same as 9mm? The latter is much more popular and production is far higher.
.38 is one of the calibers I reload. It's cheap to reload.
Nothing is more expensive than .38 Special ammo except when you grab 2 boxes of .38 Super that someone put back on the .38 special shelf and you didn't notice the label... oh, and don't own anything chambered in .38 Super.
It should be about the same as 9mm. Certainly not more than .45acp and other common rounds. But it is. Why???
We have a .380, so I get that.
But isn't .38 the most common revolver caliber? Do revolver shooters just not shoot a lot?
It's not that revolver shooters shoot less, it's that less people shoot revolvers. Seriously, I'm the only guy my age (mid 30's) that I know who even owns a revolver.
Because the demand curve is flat and predictable. People don't buy shitloads of .38 so its never overproduced.
Revolver shooters that shoot a lot- 99% of them reload.

1) economics 101---supply & demand---
2)why is .380 higher priced higher than 9mm? smaller case, less powder, ----see #1
