Difference in ammo for a ported barrel and a non ported barrel?
My wife wants a ported barrel and we were reading her ammo box and it said not to be used in a ported barrel
What makes the ammo different?

Is the ammo lead or jacketed? Most manufacturers don't recommend lead bullets in ported barrels.

The only downside I see is that you do usually get a lead buildup in the port. I use a dental pick to clean mine out every now and then. They do tend to be louder than a non-ported gun.
