There is no effort...it takes 30 seconds
Here is a partial list from Ammoseek for Federal GMM 175 grain. It took all of 30 seconds...SG Ammo isn't in the top 15...although they are good. I buy some things from them.

That’s pretty cool, SH’s $.92/rd but they’re out of stock.
TargetSportsUSA. As you’ll see, they actually are in the top 5 of that Ammoseek search. Their price doesn’t vary and swing wildly. It’s the same every time. Free shipping with a case of 200 or greater.
I also search. It takes seconds and can save you $ using volume sellers.

Having never been in a situation wherein I was out of ammo when I ordered, it doesn’t matter at all to me if it takes a week or so to get to me. Different strokes, I guess.You’ve really got to watch TargetSport. They’ve screwed me twice. One of which almost cost me a class. The were running a sale on FGMM so I called to confirm it was in stock and would reach me by a specific date. Ordered the ammo. When I got shipping info in my email the delivery date was almost 1.5 weeks out, after the arrival date they promised on the phone. When I called back to find out what was going on that’s when they admitted to having to get it from the distributor before shipping. Gave them another chance later and basically same thing. It’s 2019 there is no reason for orders to take more than a week to arrive. Hell, target sport takes 2 - 5 days for orders to “process”.
As a side note, after the issue with TargetSport, I called SG ammo. I explained the situation and they expedited a case of FGMM to the training facility for me. Order placed to delivery was 3 days. Try finding another ammo dealer that will do that for a customer.

That pretty well sums up what I was saying. The best of those places are only a few cents per round cheaper. All of them either have high shipping prices that cancel out the savings or have stupid shipping policies. Try ordering FGMM from Target Sport and see how long it takes to get it. Here’s a hint, most of those places don’t have it in stock. They almost all have it shipped to them and then ship to you or have it dropped shipped from the distributor.
I’m not trying to be an ass, but I go through a lot of FGMM and you won’t find anyone consistently as good as SG Ammo.
It is a great tool once you get used to using it. I never buy ammo without looking heree. The funny thing is that even though I do it, it usually is the same 5 companies.
Not really arguing with you at all. As I said, I buy a lot of Hornady 140 grain ELD-M from SG Ammo. However, I disagree with "high shipping...", etc. The flags are there for shipping. Target blows away SG Ammo on certain things like American Gunner (Hornady) 140 grain OTM. This ammo is perfect for shooting inside 600 yards and it is $159/200 in bulk form (plastic can). Plus I have never waited longer than 3 days for a Target Ammo shipment....for me, it is always faster than SG Ammo by a day or two but they are on the East Coast like me.
We all have our favorites....I have a few
SG Ammo
Target Sports
Vizards
All work well.
Not everyone is buying ammo to the degree that some of us do and for those people, Ammoseek is a great tool. Even for us, it ties us into sales occasionally that are hard to find on our own.
Lol 500 rounds.Make no mistake, I wasn’t out. I took 9 days of precision rifle classes and was down to my last 500 rd case. I didn’t feel like that was enough for the class.
You are right though, different strokes. I personally am not going to do business with a company that takes better than a week to get me what I paid for when there are other companies that can provide the same product at the same price in a matter of days.
Lol they aren't even the cheapest most times. There are dozens of good dealers you just need to shop around. You need to get out more.SG Ammo is honestly the only good place to buy ammo in bulk IMO. They are honest right on the front page about shipping times, and shipping costs are right there on the page of the ammo you are looking at. Have placed several orders with them, and it ships when they say they will, and arrives within the expected time frame. Of course arrival is dependent on the carrier. Either way, great prices, with shipping that can not really be beat.

Not that I care but I don't think ammoseek lists sgammo stuff when they aren't in stock and I've also found that ammoseek misses other stuff for other reasons as well so you have to check your work as it's not the end all be all.
probably want to buy at least 500 rounds of match .308.
where would you get it
I didn’t read through all the responses but I’m sure you have plenty of great suggestions. My recommendation would be to get Spark munitions. They used to be called Blackwater Precision. It is by far the most accurate factory ammo I have used. The 308 ammo they offer shot under .5moa in all three rifles we tried it in. It has really good velocity also. On top of that I believe it is $42 for a 50ct box and comes with tipped match king bullets. Fantastic ammo and very affordable.
it's a little fast, but i dont think it's unreasonable. people shoot the 147s that fast or faster but im sure brass like suffersCan't say I have heard of them. They are selling 6.5 Creedmoor rounds using the 140 grain ELD-M bullet. However, they are loading it to produce an MV 0f 2,850 fps which is the typical MV of either PRIME or FGMM when using a 130 grain bullet.
Is this factual information. A 140 grain ELD-M at 2850 fps could be pretty interesting but not a bandleader so not sure if that is a safe loading.

if it shoots, it's a pretty good deal for peterson brass leftoversWell they corrected themselves and said that MV is from a 26: barrel. They are also using Peterson brass which is supposed to be better in terms of durability than the Hornady. Don't reload so I can't comment

EDIT: They just emailed me and said the 2,850 fps MV was from a 26" barrel not a 24". I may have to give this a try.
ES / SD?I was shooting their 140 grain 6.5 creedmoor ammo out of a stock 24” RPR and I was getting 2820. I was shooting out to around 1200 yards and the ammo performed fantastic.

I've spend enought at SGAmmo to buy a nice mid level car. They've never screwed up an order even ONCE in over a decade of purchases.
Palmetto State Armory... they've managed to screw up 3 of 6. They did make it right in the end with no fuss. (I LOVE their inexpensive AR bag)
But much better to use a vendor that does it right the first time.
