Sportsmans' Guide has some good deals every now and then.
I recently bought 2K rounds Lake City from them. |

I'm not sure about specific pricing but if I were gonna invest in 2k rounds I'd bite the bullet (no pun intended) and spend a few bucks extra for good, American made ammo.

I have had great luck with Fiocchi in .357 mag.
They dont have all the PC sue your pants off crap to deal with. They arent afraid to load a round that will "Step out!" |

Why would you want to buy 2,000 rounds of a back up round? Why not reload,and I would say stay away from S&B,its kind of hot and the primers are hard (real hard)!Might work good in a Thompson and not so good in a pistol(depends on your firing pin set up)!
And you know of course your pistol is just to get you to your rifle of choice! Bob [:D] |

Cheap and Non-Corrosive...
I've got 600rds of USGI surplus .45 (corrosive) that I won't shoot because I don't have time to shoot and de-contaminate properly... Other than that, if it goes 'bang', I could care less... |

Fiocchi is american made and relatively cheap and has been pretty reliable and accurate for me. About all I put through my handguns.

I'm not saying it's great ammo, however, it always gone Bang. |

I really like the PMP (South African) stuff you used to be able to get from Century for $150 on sale. Now the sale price is more like $170 for 1,000 round case.
Crap, I passed my 1,000 post sometime recently and didn't even know it! GunLvr |

[;)] All the .45 I've bought has been made in America though. All the 9mm cases I've bought were made in Italy. Being an Italian-American, I can live with that. [:)] |

Quoted: Lastly, besides ammoman.com do you have a suggestion of where to get great deals? FYI...the SG has 1000 cases of wolf 45acp for $123.00. It is stinky but cheap. |

Of the two you mentioned, definitely Fiochhi...all the Fiochhi ammo I have ever shot has been first class...something I cannot say for the S&B 5.56.
