Small arms ammunition is Hazmat and is regulated by the DOT Hazmat regulations in 49CFR. Most small arms ammunition is classed as a Division 1.4S explosive material. If properly packaged in gross amounts of 66 pounds or less, it may be reclassed as ORM-D material. It is still regulated but is excepted from many of the marking, labeling, and shipping paper requirements of other hazardous materials. That's why Hazmat charges usually do not apply.
ORM-D material are still regulated as hazardous materials. ORM-D is a DOT hazard class used for domestic transportation. ORM-D means Other Regulated Materials-D (The D doesn't stand for anything except "D".)
