Costlier than Diamonds is hardly ever the cheapest delivered price on ammo. Check gun-deals.com or another ammo price site to find the best deal-of-the-day.
I remember when I bought cans of 820 for $130... and thought it was expensive... this was right before the election in 2008, I sure got schooled in what "expensive" meant when it came to ammo...

I bought 500 of the lake city xm193 for ~$135 in February. Now the cheapest I can find it, if i can find it at all, is $175. I'm kicking myself for not buying more. Components cost my ass, that's just good old fashoned greed.
You might be able to score a good deal at the RK gun show if SGammo(.com) has a booth. That's the only reason I used to go. I could get Aguila 45s for $15.50/50.
I picked up 1000 rounds of federal xm193 for $400 at sports world last week. That's the cheapest I've found recently.
I ordered PMC X-TAC 5.56 55 gr for $340 shipped from Sportsman's guide. Cheapest I could find for the equivalent of M193. Used code SH795 for free shipping which knocked off about $20. Next cheapest was ammoman.com at about $360 using code "dad" for an additional 3% off their current 5% off sale pricing for Father's Day. I believe these promos end Sunday or Monday. All prices discussed were for 1000 round cases (50 boxes).
Ordered 500 rounds of wolf ammo from sportsman's guide but it is on backorder til September.
I just picked up the 500-rd case of MFS 5.56 from Palmetto State Armory. It is re-packaged Silver Bear, zinc-plated steel case, berdan primed -- $129.00 shipped.
I forgot about ammoman.com. Just looked and their prices are pretty good.
