No, the M14 and Ruger Mini-14 are completely different firearms. The Mini-14 was designed for the civilian market as a .223 caliber rifle based on the looks of the M14, which fires the larger 7.62x51mm round and has fully automatic capabilities. They do both however have a gas-operated rotating bolt action.

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.

The .223 Remington cartridge is commonly used in various firearms, most notably the AR-15 platform. Other rifles, such as the Ruger Mini-14 and certain bolt-action models, also chamber .223 ammunition. Additionally, some handguns are designed to fire .223 rounds, although they are less common. Always ensure compatibility with the specific model before using .223 ammunition.
This rifle was designed to handle 55gr.bullets of lighter.I do not believe that the heavier 62gr will stabilize with the rate of twist of the mini-14.
