Re: Difference between .223 ammo
The mini-14 is more ammo tolerant than the AR-15 type rifles. It will handle the hottest loads because it has a NATO spec chamber and it will still function with very mild reloads. The skinny barrel just won't group well as it heats up. It may shoot a good 3 round group. But don't try to enter a match that requires a small 20 round group.

Ain't that the truth !! I could never figure that one out. Sure is fun to watch though
I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

Re: Difference between .223 ammo
Best I understand it, M193 is a 5.56 Nato pressure round (read: hot) that some of the fancier ARs can't handle, but any Mini can. Same with the Winchester version Q3131.
Some of the Wolf and American Eagle Ammo is in .223 Remington at the lower "SAAMI" pressure which is safe for the AR thoroughbreds. Also, in the past some ARs were chambered for 5.56 or .223 but not both. There is a slight neck variation. Minis can fire either as can most ARs today.
Oh here's another one: some ARs can't handle steel cases like Wolf. Minis can take it.
Mini is better in so many ways, you'll love one, until you want to buy a spare part or mag. Well, guess I still love mine anyway.
Anyway that's my story and I'm stickin;' to it....

Re: Difference between .223 ammo
This may have been answered before (searched but didn't get the answer I was looking for). What's the difference, if any, between the wolf black box and wolf military classic ammo? Aside from the old black box lacquer coating.
I've seen the black box cheaper than the military classic & Vice-versa. What's the story?Check my feedback: https://forum.pafoa.org/showthread.php?t=42671

Re: Difference between .223 ammo
Made at two different plants, hence the two different boxes.
Wolf has not made lacquer coated ammo in years. Any you find is merely left over.
I've shot about 1k rounds of Wolf MC through my Bushmaster with zero problems.
I have no experience with the black box stuff in my AR, but I've never had a problem shooting the 7.62x39mm through my SKS.
