Daniel Defense DD5 V5 Semi Automatic Rifle 20" Barrel .260 Remington 20 Round Black
The DD5 V5, chambered in either 6.5 Creedmoor or .260 Rem., provides users of the Daniel Defense semi-automatic platform even greater long-range precision shooting capability by featuring two of the top short action cartridges available for today’s modern long range shooters. Both the .260 Rem. and the 6.5 Creedmoor take advantage of superior ballistic coefficients to offer both flatter trajectories and reduced wind drift at levels normally reserved for much heavier recoiling long action calibers. These gains in ballistic efficiency help the modern shooter stretch the effective range out to 1,000 meters or more. This highly accurate and durable rifle includes an adjustable gas block that allows for a consistent feel whether shooting suppressed or unsuppressed. The perfected bolt carrier group reduces overall recoil impulse and is easy to maintain and operate in all conditions.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 260 Remington, introduced in 1997, is based on the 308 Winchester case necked down to take a 6.5mm or .264-inch bullet. Gunwriter Jim Carmichel was involved in its development and heralded it as "the most accurate cartridge based on the 308 Winchester case." It is very accurate and mild-recoiling; like other mild 6.5mm cartridges such as the 6.5-284 Norma and 6.5mm Creedmoor it has found some favor in long-range competition circles. However, it has not yet become extremely popular. At least in part this could be because it is very similar in performance to the much more popular 7mm-08 Remington--but it is definitely benefiting from the current popularity surge of 6.5mm cartridges. Standard loads include a 120-grain bullet at 2890 feet per second and a 140-grain bullet at 2750 fps, making it obviously suitable and effective for any deer-sized game. Because of its limited popularity both rifles and ammunition have remained primarily Remington products.
