I shot a friend's Mini-14 this morning using American Eagle 55g FMJ # AE223. The spent brass was in great condition. It looked like I used a bullet puller to remove the projectiles. The serial number on the Mini-14 is 186-XXXXX. I had zero malfunctions.
I'll be down in AZ this week for work. I'll have to grab my mini and take it out just for my own curiosity. It's been years since I shot it. I recall it throwing brass like a pigeon launcher but maybe I'm overstating it.
