Geco Ammo

[AM13]

I'm not familiar with this stuff. Is it any good?

 

[DrBurnsides]

I use a lot of their 9mm. No issues.

 

[allen-1]

Yes.

The Geco ammo I have found on ocassional is made it Switzerland. It was good ammo but hard to find on a regular basis.

I've used the .380 & 9 with zero issues.

 

[DW357]

Yeah it's good stuff. I've shot probably 200 rounds of their 9mm ammo with no issues. I've since started reloading and their brass works great for reloading too.

 

[AM13]

Thanks fellas. Was thinking of getting a case of 45 and saw this stuff but never used or heard of it for that matter.

 

[mikelawtown]

all good.

Gone through a case of 380 with zero issues.

Geco is good stuff. Gone through over 1000rds of 9mm with it. Very good quality and if I remember right its good enough to use in the olympics for biathlon

 

[schnips]

Good stuff. I shot a few hundred rounds of .357 mag then started reloading the brass.

Hmmmm...I purchased a brick of Geco .22s (during the great rimfire shortage where NOTHING was to be found)...I have 100 left...and I will NEVER buy them again. Firing with my S&W 41 I will get a round that does NOT fire every 8-10 times!!! GUARANTEED! !@#$!@#$!@#$ ..I've never had such bad ammo!
YMMV

Geco is great stuff. We've been stocking it in .22, .380, 9mm, .40 cal, .45 cal and .223.
Clean, accurate, reliable...

Sounds like you may have just gotten a bad batch. We have a variety of .22 available Aguila pistol match (eley primed), Remington, etc.

I bought 300 rounds of this recently (.45 acp 230 gr) and shot a bunch of it yesterday at massapoag.

Ran problem free, and seems to be very accurate, I got some of my best groups to date with this ammo
at 10 yards with my XDM 3.8C and it seemed to be reasonably clean.
It's nice to have good options in .45, so far I've had good luck with my XDM using
Blazer Brass (brass and aluminum)
Magtech
Geco
American Eagle
Lawman
Federal Aluminum (ya even the Wallyworld stuff is running well)
Federal HST 230gr is the carry ammo I like the best with this piece.

Why waste ammo ?

I had an issue with 30 carbine gecko ammo. Case/rim blew out. Mightve been a head spacing issue, but I pulled all the bullets from the rest of the batch I had and reloaded them in some leftover aguilla cases I had. Used my own powder too, ditched theirs. I'll see if I can attach the photo from my computer, on my cell now.
