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.

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.
