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.
