I have a shooting gig coming in the future in which I can only shoot factory ammo in. Since I handload right now I'm out of the "What's good" loop as far as price and consistently accurate in "Most" rifles go. Having said that where should I look for best price and is there anything out there better or as good as than FGMM?

+1 on Southwest Ammunition. I get ~2/3 MOA, 10-round groups at 100 yards from my AW and have a couple of ~1/3 MOA, 5-round groups at 300 yards. Just know that delivery will take a month or two.

I am seriously almost caught up. This week has been great. I haven't been this happy for about six months. We have put some products on hold to ensure availability for others, Mike is focusing on emails, I bought a head set this week to answer the phones while I am in back. Starting earlier, ending later has been paying off including the weekend work. Rock on, the stress level went from 12 to 6. I think my hair is growing back and I have lost 17 pounds.

I'll be sending you a few hundred pieces of once-fired Winchester brass to reload in the next few weeks to ensure that you all don't get bored ;-)

Re: best deal on match ammo?
I ran a 10-shot string of Southwest Ammo over my Magnetospeed in my 17" .308 with 30BA TBAC attached
175gr SMK / Win Brass
Avg = 2460fps
ES = 8fps (no shit 8fps ES on a 10-shot string)
With this same batch of ammo I have shot a 1.8" CTC 5-shot group @ 600y and a 3.5" 3-shot group @ 1025y
I don't know if this is how all the ammo SW puts out shoots since I have only bought one order of 200rnds, but needless to say I have been impressed.

Nosler custom competition match using their brass and bullets has been consistently better than FGMM for me and is about the same in price.

Re: best deal on match ammo?
Where another vendor has let me down on two occasions, one stands head and shoulders above the rest: Copper Creek Ammo. Live stock count on the website (in contrast to others with false "in stock" notices), custom ammunition availability, immediate shipping, right price, excellent quality and accuracy, etc... He gets it.
Check out his .308 ammo here: Copper Creek .308

Re: best deal on match ammo?
In 175gr, Black Hills usually runs a bit cheaper than FGMM with comparable accuracy (assuming your rifle likes it) but I'm finding FGMM 175gr cheaper than Black Hills online right now, like low $20s per box, which is WAY cheap for FGMM.

+1 on Southwest Ammunition. They have great customer service and great ammo for the price. Southwest has a coupon code for .308 ammunition which shows they look after the Hide members. Here is the link if you have not seen it already.

What grade ammo did you use? New winchester brass, lapua, or federal?
