Do I need a permit to buy ammunition in Montana?

+

No. Ammunition purchases in Montana do not require a permit, background check, or special license for adults who are legally permitted to possess firearms and ammunition. A valid government-issued ID may be requested at the point of sale to confirm age. Montana’s constitutional carry law covers the carrying of firearms, while ammunition purchases remain unrestricted for eligible adults. All firearm purchases from a licensed dealer require a separate background check, but those requirements do not extend to ammunition.

What rifle ammunition is best for Montana elk hunting?

+

Montana elk hunting demands ammunition that delivers reliable terminal performance on large, heavy-boned game at the varying distances encountered across the state’s diverse terrain from the Beartooth foothills to open prairie country surrounding Laurel and the Yellowstone Valley. Popular and proven elk hunting calibers include .300 Winchester Magnum, .338 Winchester Magnum, .30-06 Springfield, .308 Winchester, 7mm Remington Magnum, and 6.5 Creedmoor with controlled-expansion hunting bullets. Always verify current Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks regulations for your specific game management unit and season before purchasing hunting ammunition.

What is the best defensive ammunition for a handgun?

+

Modern hollow point ammunition from quality manufacturers is the standard recommendation for defensive handgun use, delivering reliable expansion and controlled penetration that maximizes terminal performance while reducing over-penetration risk. Popular defensive calibers including 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP are all available in proven hollow point loads. The best choice depends on your specific handgun model and your ability to shoot it accurately under stress. The staff at On Target Outdoors can help you select a load that feeds reliably in your specific pistol.

What ammunition is required for waterfowl hunting in Montana?

+

Federal law requires non-toxic shot for all migratory waterfowl hunting nationwide, including in Montana. Steel shot is the most widely available and affordable non-toxic option, while bismuth and tungsten loads offer better downrange performance at a higher price. Montana waterfowl hunters along the Yellowstone River corridor and surrounding wetlands should use a choke rated for steel shot and verify current Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks regulations for zone-specific requirements and season dates before heading to the blind.

What ammunition is best for pronghorn hunting in Montana?

+

Pronghorn hunting on Montana’s open prairie often involves longer shots at relatively light-bodied game, making flat-shooting calibers with controlled-expansion hunting bullets the top choice among local hunters. Popular options include .243 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, .270 Winchester, .308 Winchester, and 7mm Remington Magnum with quality soft point or polymer-tipped hunting bullets that open reliably at varying impact velocities. Always verify current Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks regulations for your specific pronghorn unit before purchasing hunting ammunition.

Does On Target Outdoors carry rimfire ammunition?

+

Yes. On Target Outdoors carries rimfire ammunition including .22 LR and other rimfire calibers for training, plinking, and small game hunting. Rimfire is one of the most cost-effective ways to maintain trigger time and build fundamental marksmanship skills alongside your centerfire hunting and defensive practice. Stop in or check online for current rimfire inventory and available quantities.

How should I store ammunition safely in Montana?

+

Ammunition should be stored in a cool, dry location away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight, which can degrade propellants and primers over time. Montana’s temperature extremes between summer and winter can affect improperly stored ammunition, so quality ammo cans and sealed containers are especially practical for long-term storage. Storing ammunition securely alongside locked firearms is a recommended best practice in any household. Contact On Target Outdoors for current ammunition availability and storage product recommendations for your collection.
