Nowhere at the moment. The recent 5.56 Green Tip ammo ban scare caused a panic, which caused a run on all .223 & 5.56 ammo. Supply got low. Prices went high. It might stabilize in a few months.
I buy from Target Sports USA, Widener's, AIM Surplus.
If you're not a reloader and your range allows it, Russian steel case bi-metal jacketed ammo is affordable.
If you think you might reload or you don't want steel case bi-metal jacket, Wolf Gold .223 is good stuff.

You really need to look around. freedom munitions has some pretty good prices but like everyone else is having problems keeping ammo in stock. Ever since the BATFE proposal, people have been cleaning the shelves.

I've seen pretty good prices and selection at SGAmmo. Also, you might try Ammunition Depot. Maybe Target Sports USA. Prices and availability aren't back to what they were before the ban scare, but getting better daily.

Palmetto State Armory has Federal XM193 for $0.43/rd. They even have green tip if you don't mind paying $0.45/ea.

Works fine for me. There's a lot of theories as to why or how it doesn't work. Not can be proven or disproven. Try it. It will either work or not. I don't have a problem with them in any gun and have been using it for 95% of my range shooting for the last decade, in all sorts of guns.....from Glocks to 1911s, to Lugers, S&W, AR, ....etc...etc.. In all that time I've had only 2 or 3 problems. One problem is that Sig P220 mags wont hold more than 4 rounds. Can't push anymore in. Not a deal braker for me
ammosupplywarehouse has Armscor .223 55gr for $349.99 1000 rds.
I've run 450 rds of this through my M&P Sport with no problems whatsoever. Shoots good groups too. Don't know what their shipping cost is as I've never bought from them. Purchased mine through Bulkammo a few months back for $329 including shipping.
Here's the link.

Although I have a few rounds of XM855 and Ranger on hand, I now only buy American Eagle XM193. I believe this listing works out to .33 per round. I have seen it as low here as 26.99 per box of 90, and it is on stripper clips.
Federal 5.56 55gr FMJ-BT 90rds on Stripper Clips XM193AF90
I keep an M&P 15T mostly for the range. I prefer .300 Blackout if the stuff ever hits the fan. It's a far better round, and not NEAR as loud as 5.56. I have an Advanced Armament MPW in 3B, with a URX II rail. M&P 15T has the same rail covers, looks almost the same, and feels the same except for the trigger. Eventually I will upgrade to the same Geissele trigger in the M&P.

This is as 'cheap' as i would go.

I'll pass on any and all steel-cased ammo. To each their own.

Took 'em almost ten days to get my order.
You young guys have no idea what it was like in pre-computer days. It was considered speedy if you got your order in less than a month after you sent it in via snail mail.
Cut them a break. At least they have ammunition at a good price.
It's just what I heard but I still ordered due to best pricing. I never ordered ammo online and didn't know I had to email my fpid card. I should have guessed. I found out only cuz I called them many hours later to ask a question. Will see how it plays out.

I just ordered 4 boxes of 90 $29.99 per which got me over the $100 min and gets me free shipping this weekend.
Thats American Eagle 5.56 at the price Wally World was charging pre BATF scare for that Turkish ZQI.
Nice. I'm gonna order 4 more then. When I grabbed the three they weren't offering any free shipping. Thanks for the heads up.

Prob started today, runs through the weekend. They are excluding rimfire in the $100 min but I think that's it.
Some people say Palmetto takes a while to ship but I don't care, I bought plenty of the ZQI when it was available at Wally World.
ZQI is offering their stuff pre-order on their web site. Due May 1st. Scare prob wiped them out and new shipments are on the boat. I bet we will see it return to Wally World around then also.

.23 cents a round is hard to beat:

No steel for me so I'm usually trying to match .33 cents a round. I figure if I stick with brass and pick it up I will eventually have enough to justify learning how to reload.

Ammoseek isn't following Palmetto State Armory? I just checked and they don't have the $29.99 deal for 90 rounds of American Eagle listed.
