Most AR-type rifles are chambered for the 5.56x45 cartridge - the standard cartridge used by NATO (and also by several non-NATO) forces for their military's assault rifles. They can also chamber the .223 Remington cartridge, although a firearm with a dedicated .223 Remington chamber should not be used for military 5.56x45 ammunition.

What caliber guns does NATO use?
I presume you're referring to the 7.62x51 NATO cartridge, the civilian version of which is 308 Winchester. Both use a .308 caliber bullet of various weights. Another standard NATO cartridge is 5.56 NATO. The civilian version of that cartridge is 223 Remington. Both military cartridges have characteristics (bullet weight, powder charges, etc.) that may preclude complete interchangeability with some civilian/hunting firearms. A quick note, in regards to the .308 Winchester being referred to as a civilian version of the 7.62x51 and the .223 Remington being a civilian version of the 5.56x45.. this is not true. The cartridges are dimensionally similar, but are not one in the same, varying in case thickness, neck angles, and other features.
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.
