I've used AmmoSeek.com a few times when I was trying to stock up on .223 rounds for my AR-15 and had a pretty good experience overall. It definitely gives you a broad view of prices from various retailers, which is nice because you can save some cash compared to just relying on one site. I found the listings are mostly accurate, but I'd recommend double-checking the seller's reputation if you see a deal that seems too good to be true. I did run into a couple of sketchy sellers with weird shipping policies, so just be mindful of that. Overall, give it a go, but trust your gut and do a little homework on the sellers before jumping in.
 
Don't forget to think about shipping costs to Alaska. Sometimes, paying a bit more per round can actually be worth it if it means you get better shipping options.
 
Ten years ago, when RL33 and Vihtavuori N570 were just gaining traction, I could get some only from the lower 48. From Gamaliel's in KY I bought the N570 for $41.95 not including the HAZMAT or shipping (barge from Seattle). Being unable to lay my hands on the shipping receipt presently if I remember right the N570 cost me $71 dollars a pound--to Fairbanks. I had to wait until winter to fetch it; no air ship of course. Widener's in TN shipped my RL33 and RL50 along with an eight pounder of Vihtavuori 20n29 for experimentation. Still have the unopened 20n29 and it's for sale for $150--well over a hundred less than I paid for it.
Long story short; if you can get it here buy it here because the foregoing is the very shortened story with many omissions.
 
I've used AmmoSeek quite a bit myself, and it’s become one of my favorite tools for stocking up on ammo without getting ripped off. It's super convenient for getting a quick look at what's available, especially when prices seem to be all over the place. I've mainly focused on .223, 9mm, and .308, and I’ve come across some really great deals but yeah, you definitely have to keep your eyes open.
