If a sternguard group takes stormbolters can they still use the special ammunition?

Special Issue ammunition works only with Bolters and Combi-Bolters.
It does not work with heavy bolters, bolt pistols or Storm bolters as these are not bolters.

No, only Boltgun-armed models have the "Special Issue Ammunition" - see the rule on pg63 in the SM codex.

and on top of it, since each special ammunition has it's own profile, even if you could use it in a storm bolter, you wouldn't gain anything because you would be using the profile of the ammo, not the storm bolter. So you would pay 5 pts for literally nothing.

I asked similar questions when putting together a Sternguard heavy list Dawnlord. I'm still kind of iffy on why Sternguard even get options other than combi-bolters, since I can't see why you'd ever take them.

This is a fifth edition change (not the ammo obviously) storm bolters have always before counted as a combi weapon

ERm, wrong, entirely so.
You may be getting confused with Chaos Combi-bolters, which are the forerunner to the current Storm Bolter, which are TL Bolters.

Old Space wolves had Combi-bolters as well(which were exactly the same as the chaos ones)
Finally remember just having "Bolter" in the name somewhere does not make the weapon a Bolter/boltgun, much in the same way an Eldar Fire dragon is neither a "Fire" nor a "dragon".

Not to mention that the special ammo only came around in 5th edition, so even if storm bolters had been treated as a type of "bolter" in 4th edition (which they didn't), it wouldn't have mattered since there was no special ammunition anyway (barring Deathwatch, who I don't think could take SBs).
