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 5.56 ammo be fired safely from a colt ar 15 rifle?
Depends. What is the caliber of the AR-15 rifle? If it marked 5.56, yes. If it marked .223, no. While you MAY fire 5.56x45 ammo in a .223, they are NOT the identical cartridge, and it is not a good (or safe) practice. .223 ammo can be safely fired in a rifle chambered in 5.56 mm. The 5.56 chamber is cut a bit longer than .223 to help insure operations in the field in the presence of dirt, etc. 5.56 NATO ammo is also loaded to a higher pressure than .223. So- to recap- 5.56 in a .223- NO. .223 in a 5.56- yes.
