from an attorney:

When a person has a firearm registered in DC, they are only permitted to be in possession of ammunition for guns in DC that correspond to the firearm that they own. When someone does not have a valid registration for their firearm, any ammunition they are in possession of is considered illegal.

However, if the firearm someone possesses is registered in Washington, DC, that person is permitted to have ammunition for that firearm. They can only have ammunition that corresponds to that specific firearm. As an example, a person cannot have ammunition that corresponds to an AIR-15 when the only firearm they have registered in Washington, DC is a shotgun.

Are Legally-Certified Holders of Firearms Allowed to Possess Ammunition?

A person who is a legally-registered firearm owner must still comply with DC rules on the kind of ammunition for guns in DC, they can possess. An individual is only able to be in possession of ammunition that corresponds to the firearm they have registered. That does not mean they can carry that ammunition outside of their home or place of business unless they have a license to do so. If they have a registration to keep their firearm in their home or place of business, their ammunition must also be kept in their home or place of business.
