Bolt action .223/5.56 question

[ThomasT]

"I know you can't in a semi-auto (AR, Mini), but there seems to be some debate on bolt-actions"

From the Ruger website;

With the exception of the Mini-14 Target Rifle, which accepts only .223 Rem. ammunition, .223 Rem. and 5.56 NATO can be used in all Mini-14 rifles and Ranch Rifles.
Please note that "Military Surplus" 5.56mm NATO can vary greatly in its quality and consistency

Take a look at the Mossberg MVP .223,it accepts AR 15 mags.Might be able to shoot 5.56 in it.

It is actually chambered for 5.56 NATO, not .223 Rem.
