I know to buy and sell guns you need to be an FFL dealer but are there any requirements for buying and selling ammo? Do you need any special license? Any info. on this would be a great help to me.

[R5CYA]

depends on how much ammo you plan on selling. pretty sure you'll need a license to sell large quantities as well as proper storage.

(A4) What kinds of ammunition are covered by the GCA? [Back] Ammunition includes cartridge cases, primers, bullets or propellant powder designed for use in any firearm other than an antique firearm. Items NOT covered include blank ammunition, tear gas ammunition, pellets and nonmetallic shotgun hulls without primers. Generally, no records are required for ammunition transactions. However, information about the disposition of armor piercing ammunition is required to be entered into a record by importers, manufacturers, and collectors. A license is not required for dealers in ammunition only. [18 U.S.C. 921(a)(17) and 922(b)(5), 27 CFR 478.11 and 478.125]

I just try to answer the question and keep it as brief as possible. In this I am not always successful. lol

Be sure to check state and local laws too. If you try to make a business of it, you'll likely need an occupational permit or license - usually pretty cheap.

[deadzero]

also check into liability issues and insurance if your manufacturing ammo for sale. i'm not sure if any type of permit is necessary to manufacture and sell because I've never looked into it before.

I have enough work just keeping myself supplied. very few guns I own get fed from the store.

If your manufacturing you will need a License. You'll probably need insurance too, and as mentioned before it is probably a good idea to check your state and local regulations.

I wasn't really trying to correct anyone, just trying to answer the question.
