Palmetto State Armory has CCI Blazer Aluminum .45ACP for $13.99. This is
aluminum cased not brass, but is better than steel IMO. This is cheaper than
both brass and steel ammo locally for me. YMMV.
With .45 ammo becoming short supply and prices increasing, this is a pretty
good price especially if you do not reload.

I bought 600 rounds for $181.88 shipped which comes to ~0.30 cents/rd.
