Best Place to buy .308 or 7.62x51 ammo. Customer service and price
 
This is a tough question to answer. Inventory and pricing varies so wildly on ammunition these days. You'll have to check a variety of vendors - Sportsmans Guide, Midsouth, Natchez, MidwayUSA, Brownells, Ammoseek, Gunbroker, local gun shop. What's here today might not be here tomorrow.

Figure out what you want, and what you're willing to pay. Steel vs brass case? Boxer vs Berdan primed? Reloadable brass case is much nicer - and easier on extractors - but also more expensive.

Last time I bought milsurp 7.62 was at a LGS in Minneapolis, they had a battlepack of reloadable South African ammo for about $.01 per round less than Sportsmans Guide. And even if you don't reload, reloadable 7.62 brass has pretty decent resale value so brass up as best as you can, you might be able to work a trade with a handloader.

Also, factor in shipping; ammo is heavy, and the lowest price-per-round might not be the lowest price to your door.
 
Midways my go to they have a good variety and the prices are usually average sometimes you get a good deal sometimes it may be a touch more than other places but I order in bulk so where I save I spend lol
