If you want ammo at home in Switzerland you have to buy it yourself, there's usually no restriction as long as you are a Swiss citizen and have a clean record, and you must own a weapon that actually fires the ammunition you want to purchase.
There are some restrictions for foreigners depending on where they are from (for example, Serbs, Bosnians, Kosovans, Macedonians, Turks, Sri Lankans, Algerians and Albanians are explicitly forbidden from owning, storing, carrying and/or buying any weapon or ammo).
During military exercises Swiss soldiers and milita people receive ammo for their weapons, but must return any unspent ammo after the exercise.
At shooting ranges you can buy ammo at reduced prices, and you can take unfired ammo home with you if you are at least 18 years old. However, you cannot buy large amounts there, so "unfired ammo" usually means a few rounds.
Of the Swiss gunowners I know there's none who does not have a small amount of ammo at home.
