But it's expensive. USPS won't handle it, so you have to use Fdex or UPS. And you have tell them what it is so they can label it as explosive. And the cost is high.
I once bought some (40 rds) milsup 30.06 ammo at a flea mkt. that intended to use in an M-1 Garand. But after checking the headstamps I learned that the ammo was foriegn made MG ammo that was too hot for an M-1. But OK for bolt action rifles.
I sold it to guy on a forum I frequented for what I paid for it, plus $10. shipping. It cost me ALL of the amount I collected (price + shipping), just to ship it.
You can probably get the info you need by contacting Fedex or UPS.

I use fedex, I just shipped 700+ rounds of 30 ammo and some magazines for $11. If yu have a Kinkos handy, use them I find them incredibly easy to deal with. they are owned by Fedex.
Simply walk in with you box clearly labled "ORM-D Small arms munitions" Inside a box written in block letters.
Fill out their form, don't check the box that asks if anything hazardous is being shipped(remember these are $6 and hour employees and don't know their own rules), hand them some money, smile and walk out.

ammo is not shipped haz-mat, but ORM-D. Must go by ground, either FEDEX, or ups. No extra charges involved.

ORM-D is hazardous material. It just has marking, labeling, and shipping paper exceptions from DOT. That is one reason that hazmat fees are not usually charged.
