If the rifle has stampings of .223 Rem or 5.56x45mm on it, then yes it can. If it has stampings of other cartridges, then don't do it! Almost all guns have markings of their caliber on the reciever or the barrel. If your confused, find a professional (Gunsmith, firearms enthusiast,etc) and ask.
Hope this helps.

Can you shoot 5.56 mm ammo in Ruger?
Depends. If you mean the Ruger Mini-14 or Ranch Rifle, yes, you can. It is chambered for .223 and 5.56x45 ammo. If you read the owner's manual (available on the Ruger website) it will tell you that on page 13. The Target Model is ONLY for .223. Of course, the 6.8mm and the Mini-30 use different ammo entirely.
Can the ruger mini 14 shoot 5.56 ammo?
The Ruger Web site says the Mini-14 Ranch Rifle and the Mini-14 Tactical Rifle, can be used with either the .223 or 5.56mm round: Mini-14 Target Rifles ONLY accept .223 Rem. ammunition. 5.56 NATO cannot be used in this model. Probably due to tighter chambering dimensions for accuracy.

What is the retail price of a Ruger 1022 rifle?
I think the average price for a Ruger 10/22 is around $200. They are really fun and probably the cheapest gun to shoot with the current economy. I have one and love it. They are also probably one of the most customizable firearms out there.

Can you shoot a 44 special in a 44 magnum rifle?
Yes- BUT- in an autoloader, they may not cycle the action. In a lever action, they may not feed properly (too short). In ANY rifle, be certain to clean the chamber well after shooting- you will get a buildup of carbon in front of the case mouth that can make chambering Magnums hard if you don't. Also, if you have a gas operated auto, like the Ruger, remember that Ruger recommends you NOT shoot unjacketed lead bullets (gas port fouling)
