Some studies indicate the repeated use (20,000) of steel cased ammo will prematurely wear the barrel on semi auto rifles. The normal user will not see the difference.

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.

The original, factory Ruger Mini 14 folding stock used wood. The folder itself was steel, and was an 'underfolder' design, similar to the type used by the AKS-47, AKMS, etc.
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.

Sturm Ruger Mini 14 owners manual?
The Ruger website, under Customer Service, has a downloadable owners manual for your Mini 14.
Was Ruger mini 14 made to shoot either regular 223 and military 223 with higher psi?
Yes, it was. Go to the Ruger website for more information. The military round is the 5.56x45 - while dimensionally similar to the .223 Remington, it is not entirely the same. The standard and Ranch models of the Mini 14 have a 5.56x45 chamber, which can accept both 5.56 and .223 Remington ammo. The Target models, however, have a dedicated .223 Remington chamber, and were not designed to use 5.56x45 military ammo.
