I cannot find this specifically addressed except for hollow point ammo.  I know the laws regarding transport of long guns and pistols but nowhere can I find specific mention of whether it is legal to be in possession of ammunition outside of transport between residence and ranges, gunsmith, or hunting.  It was mentioned by someone I know that it is illegal in the same way that it is illegal to possess a gun outside of your home/range/shop/business and transport to/from these points.  So I did a search in the NJ gun laws thread and could not find any mention of illegality outside of the hollowpoint ammo laws.  My concern was if I hear of some ammo (22lr specifically) being available at a local gun shop while I am at work, I would like to be able to make a quick run to buy some, leave it in my vehicle while at work, then drive home with said ammo.  

That would be perfectly legal. You would need your FPID because .22lr is pistol ammo as well as rifle ammo but there is no restriction on possessing it on your day to day travels in NJ provided that it is not hollowpoint or dumdum bullets. Don't go to DC though.

I don't believe you need a FPID to possess pistol ammo. Just to purchase it.

Sorry, that is what I meant but did not say very clearly. The OP did say he wanted to be able to buy it if he came across some though.

Just make sure it's not hollow point. Many .22LR are hollow point. Regular ball ammo or shotgun shells are perfectly OK to possess and transport without any papers or without any exemptions.
