UPS says it's Hazmat and requires the ORM-D sticker.
Regardless, we're getting a little in the weeds here about OP's question. We've established that it can't go USPS, has to be ground, requires a label of some kind and does not incur extra charges.
From UPS:
"
... and must be prepared under the rules for a fully regulated hazardous material.
Ammunition will be transported only when packaged and labeled in compliance with 49 C.F.R. § 172 (Hazardous Materials), and must be shipped in accordance with the UPS Guide for Shipping Ground and Air Hazardous Materials.

Is a Hazardous Materials Label or Marking Required?
Yes, (until December 31, 2020) packages that meet the definition of Cartridges, small arms must be marked with the proper shipping name "Cartridges, small arms", and designated as "ORM-D""
