I bought two cases of it last year. Great shooting ammo.

It’s fantastic stuff, especially at the price it was selling for before the panic. I’ve gone through about 6 cases of it in the past year or so.

How dirty is it? I won’t use Winchester WWB because it leaves so much trash in my guns.

I buy it whenever I can.
But it was 16c/rd shipped for TargetSports Prime members before panic. |

I've shot 3 or 4 cases of it but in the red boxes, note the IPSC on the box.
 It was made to spec for the European IPSC matches.  The red box was made in Switzerland but now in the US.  The Swiss made had a steel core.  The US made isn't magnetic. |

Very nice ammo. Very clean and consistent. And used to be affordable.

Excellent ammo, very clean and accurate. I’m glad I stocked away a couple cases before the recent panic.

Steel core or copper washed steel jacket? |

I've shot lots of GECO in 9mm. 45acp, and 32acp. All of it has been excellent and subjectively felt loaded on the higher end of things. Accurate, clean, and consistent. Of note, the 32acp will cycle pistols that choke on US made ammo, as 32acp pistols can be pretty finicky eaters.

I too have shot plenty of this in 9mm and 45ACP. Find it to be reliable, clean and reasonably priced. I'd like to claim its really accurate.......but I am not so will just claim clean and consistant.
After having used it for quite a while, I keep plenty "in stock". Apparently they make the same stuff with a JHP though I have never actually laid hands on any. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Mine isn't magnetic. Not all is, but SG Ammo and some of the other vendors pointed out in their listings the Swiss 124gr 9mm FMJ had magnetic bi-metal jackets. I've never seen that with the Hungarian or German Geco 9mm though. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Pretty clean, I'd say well above average compared to run of the mill ball ammo. Comparable to S&B 9mm. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: How dirty is it? I won't use Winchester WWB because it leaves so much trash in my guns. That was my take on it....comparable to S & B. Good stuff for putting holes in paper/cardboard. Never had an issue. |

The bimetal magnetic load is surprisingly accurate although I am not fond of steel in my ammo.

I don't sweat bimetal. I've seen WWB 7.62x51 and Remington bulk .45 ACP ball that stuck to a magnet.
I know of a indoor range with a strictly enforced "no steel" policy. The look on the owner's face when I showed him that his range ammo he stocked attracted a magnet was priceless. |
