WARNING: NOT ALL AMMUNITION WILL PRODUCE THE SAME RESULTS.
Daniel Defense recommends that you only use high-quality, commercially available
ammunition that is clean, dry, in good condition and of the appropriate caliber for your
rearm. The use of remanufactured or hand-loaded ammunition is not recommended. If
you have any questions about the suitability of a particular type of ammunition, please
contact the ammunition manufacturer or Daniel Defense Technical Support for more
information.
NOTE: DANIEL DEFENSE FIREARMS THAT ARE CHAMBERED IN .308
WINCHESTER CAN SAFELY FIRE BOTH .308 WINCHESTER AND 7.62 X 51MM
NATO AMMUNITION.
All Daniel Defense rearms are designed to function with a variety of brands and types
of factory-manufactured ammunition in the appropriate caliber. Ammunition, and in
particular, the projectiles the ammunition is loaded with are designed for a particular
task, such as long-range target shooting, frangible target shooting, personal/home
defense, big-game hunting, varmint hunting, etc. It is important to choose ammunition
that is appropriate for the application. Consult with the information provided by the
ammunition manufacturer when choosing the appropriate ammunition.
WARNING: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE
AMMUNITION (VELOCITY AND BULLET DESIGN) FOR THE
INTENDED APPLICATION
Daniel Defense recommends that after you read and understand this manual, you go
to the range and re different types of ammunition of the appropriate caliber and bullet
design for your rearm and its intended use (target shooting, hunting, etc.). Once you nd
the ammunition that functions best for your application, keep using it. To protect you and
others from danger, and your rearm from being severely damaged, Daniel Defense does
not recommend the use of any hand-loaded or remanufactured ammunition.
