'''.260 Remington''' (also known as '''.260 Rem''' or '''6.5-08 A-Square''') is a large rifle caliber, first developed as a wildcat cartridge derived from [[7.62x51mm NATO|.308 Winchester]] necked down to .264 caliber (6.7mm), then produced as a factory load by Remington from 1997 onwards. It is designed to be a lighter, less-recoiling and flatter-shooting alternative to 7.62 NATO.

In the Mazes, it is one of the so-called '''rare calibers''', ammunition for which no standard production firearms and no boxed ammunition exists, but for which certain [[Maze Customs]] services are available.
