Ordering ammunition in Ohio

Ammunition ships straight to your Ohio address; the state requires no ammunition license, dealer transfer or purchase record. Federal age rules for dealer sales apply: 18 for rifle and shotgun loads, 21 for handgun cartridges. If you are buying for deer season, remember that Ohio allows slugs and straight-walled cartridges from .357 to .50 caliber but not buckshot, and the gun may hold only three rounds in the field. Waterfowl loads for the Lake Erie marshes must be non-toxic shot. Check the ODNR regulations before opening day.
