Which type of ammunition is prohibited from being possessed or transferred in Utah?

  1. Hollow-point bullets

  2. Armor-piercing bullets

  3. Tracer rounds for shotguns only

  4. Hand-reloaded ammunition

The correct answer is: Armor-piercing bullets

Armor-piercing bullets are designed specifically to penetrate body armor and therefore have been prohibited for possession and transfer in Utah. Hollow-point bullets, while frowned upon by some, are not strictly prohibited. Tracer rounds for shotguns only are a specific type of tracer round and therefore incorrect as a broader category of ammunition is prohibited. Hand-reloaded ammunition is not prohibited but may be subject to certain regulations such as being marked for identification.
