Besides Midway I like Sportsmans guide at www.sportsmansguide.com. They're not as well organized as Midway but I find they're often a little cheaper. http://www.georgia-arms.com/ also has some real good new and reloaded ammo at very good prices.

Security for e-commerce
As far as security for e-commerce goes...
Install (and run regularly) some anti-spyware programs on your PC. Some good free ones are "Lavasoft Ad-Aware", "Spybot Search and Destroy" and "PestPatrol". This prevents any spyware illicitly and unknowingly installed on your PC from recording your user ids, passwords, credit card info, etc as you type the keystrokes.
A second thing to do is only use e-commerce sites that encrypt all sensitive information (especially the credit card payment info). The way to tell that encryption is active is to look at the address field at the top of your browser - the URL should begin with "https://" instead of "http://" (the 's' is for secure sockets). Also, you should be able to see a lock icon on the lower right of your browser while secure sockets are in use. That protects the information on it's trip over the internet between your PC and the company's servers.
If the site is a small one, that might have unsophisticated security, you should also review their security policies - they should not store your critical credit card information in their databases, which can be hacked.
With proper precautions, e-commerce is quite safe.

They have been perfect every time! Their s&h calculator has been exactly the same as they charge me. I have fooled with it a little and there are ways to customize (fine tune) your order to get the best shipping rates. I found long items like target stands etc. can have a S&H of more than the cost of the item (UPS and others upcharge for some oversize). It's nice to know exactly what the shipping charges are before I place an order. I think they are very fair priced with their s&h.
I tried other online stores and they had more hoops to jump through before they would ship to me. Nothing terrible, but a pain at times. Midway is my choice for most items and they seem to have more selection that many others. Price is usually good but not always the best. On a large variety order, Midway usually shakes out on top for me after working in the s&h and the great fast service.
AAA+++ First class!
Sorry, forgot the Ammo part to the question.
Very good price most of the time. Ammo price does go up and down so keep checking. Never had a problem getting Ammo shipped.
good selection of .22 bricks under 10 bucks most of the time. (I always get a few bricks on sale and if you are careful, the shipping is not Effected).
Center fire pistol Magtech is good price and reloadable.
Case pricing is better.
They have sales all the time.

As a paranoid individual I call ammoman.com but he sends me email updates that now show he has on line ordering and sends you the tracking number quickly.
I won't call him the cheapest but I have never had a problem with dealing with him and he answers questions on the phone when I have called wondering about something.
I have also dealt with aim and sportsman's guide for buying ammo as well and aim did wonderfully and sportsman's guide took a while to make me happy but in the end the problem was dealt with.

I always buy my ammo from Cabela's Online.
They have a wide variety, and best of all, bulk ammo. So, if I don't feel like going to Wal-Mart, I've always got Cabelas.

SECURITY SUGGESTION:
For buying online, obtain a credit card with and keep it at a low maximum limit - make that limit fit your max buying style. I use one that has a max limit of $300 for online buys. Then if it gets "stolen" the damage is limited, plus I get that back - eventually. This is the only thing I use that card for, and I pay it off each month.

Ichiro ,
I got some of that same ammo too from Midway and it was $124/1000 at one time this spring. But on other cal. or brands, they may not compare as well. Need to keep watch and see who has a good price. Often depends on what the lead market is doing I think for ammo. Now days, it cost so much more for gas to drive to the store, it makes online purchases even a better bargin! Midway usually has the best overall deal when everything is factored into the price, IMO anyway. Others do well too, but Midway is almost like a Wal-Mart department store...they have just about everything you need in one shop and at a fair price with excellent service.
