What type of Ammo for a ruger mini 14?
most minis are .223 caliber aka 5.6 NATO <><><><><> Although similar, the .223 Remington and the 5.56x45 are NOT the same cartridge. A rifle chambered for 5.56 can shoot .223 safely. The reverse is not true- a rifle chambered for .223 MAY be unsafe with 5.56 ammo- it has a slightly longer cartridge case, and is loaded to higher pressures. Safe bet is to check the caliber marked on the firearm, and stick with that.
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.
What ammunition does a mini 14 rifle use?
It's designed and chambered for. 223 Remington. Some of the militarised models may have a 5.56x45 chamber more ideal for 5.56 ammo than the "standard" models (like the Mini 14 Ranch). There were also models chambered in .222 Remington, for export to countries which prohibited civilian ownership of firearms chambered in military calibres, though these are a bit rare.
What is the difference between a Ruger Mini 14 and the Ruger ranch rifle?
The early model mini 14 was not designed for a scope. After market mounts and rings came out so a scope could be added, however the angle of ejection was not set for a scope so the brass would bang into the scope. The Ranch rifle came with the scope mount as part of the receiver, and the ejection angle was changed to kick the brass lower and to the right more. I had a couple of the early mini's and scoped one of them. I lived with the dinged brass, and just used full length resizing dies to reload it. The Mini-14 is chambered in .223 and the Mini 30 is chambered in 7.62x39. Both come in the ranch rifle configuration.
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.
