“Under the budget request, procurement funding for the M795 would be $61.8 million in FY-22, down from the $145.6 million appropriated for FY-21.
The budget request would provide for the Army to buy 75,357 M795 rounds, which would support training and the service’s war reserve.”

The 2021 price was under $1000/per.
The problem is, there is a dire shortage, and the price has gone up, as the Rheinmetall contract shows.
(i guess they are making it up by Excalibur, at $168,000 per shot. Krasnopol is estimated at 13,500 !)
I appreciate your effort, it is hard to pin down the current prices of various shells and which shells are always involved in contracts, or even how many contracts are floating around or have recently been signed.
It has been many years since I served on the 155 and it was surprising at first to learn the Marines are doing away with most of its artillery but weapon systems change.
“The U.S. Marine Corps is remaking itself to better fight China in a potential conflict, and it’s making bold choices to make it happen. The Marines will eliminate all of their tank units (a capability the service has had for nearly a century), most of its tube artillery, and a substantial amount of aviation units.
In return the service will bulk up with long-range rocket artillery and anti-ship missiles, weapons the service thinks will be more useful in island-hopping campaigns in the South Pacific.”
