None to really speak of. They are, for the most part, one and the same. The 9mm NATO is merely a variant of the 9mm Luger loaded for military specifications.

What is a 5.56 x 45 NATO ammunition?
5.56x45 is the ammunition originally developed for the M16 rifle. Many people mistakenly claim it is the same as .223 Remington ammunition, although this is not true - while the dimensions are similar, neck angles and other measurements differ between the two cartridges. In the late 1970s, after the US had announced that troops stationed in Europe would be equipped with M16 rifles, NATO sought a cartridge to make standard amongst their forces, in order for there to be cross compatability between NATO military forces. The weight of the 5.56x45 projectile was increased from 55 to 62 grains.
Can you shoot 223 in a Rock river 5.56x45?
Of course you can. The .223 is the civilian version of the 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition. They are slightly different but the difference is constantly neglected due to the fact that it is safe to shoot. Hope this helps.

What kind of bullet does the AR-15 use?
5.56x45mm NATO or .223 Remington. They are dimensionally similar rounds, but they are not the same. Some AR-15 rifles have smaller throats than others. If it is too small, you'll only be able to fire .223 Remington ammunition in the firearm, as the area of the throat will be too small to accommodate the higher pressures generated by firing 5.56 NATO ammunition. If the throat is reamed properly, you should be able to fire both types of ammunition in the weapon. There's no way to tell just by looking. If you try to fire 5.56 NATO ammunition in your AR and the primer pops out of the spent casing (in a best case scenario), get a 5.56 reamer (they're around $240). The reamer will widen the throat to accommodate the hotter 5.56 NATO ammunition.
What caliber of gun will use Ammunition with head stamp rg 50?
POSSIBLY- and this is a stab in the dark- 7.62 NATO- similar to the civilian .308 Winchester. RG is a headstamo used by the Radway Green ammunition plant in Britain. In 1950, the standard rifle used the 7.62 NATO cartridge. Again, just a guess.
How does NATO apply to amunition?
Standardization. They standardise on certain rounds (among other things). That way, in the event of the breakout of war between NATO and Warsaw Pact forces (which never occurred), if, say, a German unit was low on ammunition, and needed resupply, they could be resupplied with Belgian, American, British, etc. ammo.
