Title: Geco 9mm 115gr FMJ
Post by: Intercooler on October 24 2013 01:59:58 PM MDT
   This is a new one to me I picked up to feed my 9mm Limited. Supposedly it is loaded to European standards (hotter) and the box does have printed major factor IPSC. The proof will be in the pudding Saturday morning! What I read in some searches was it being labeled one of the most accurate and best loaded 9mm's out there.

  Different results than I thought these would give.

Geco 115gr FMJ (Springfield XD 4") 1182, 1156, 1179, 1177, 1170 1173. Average = 1173.83 FPS/ 352 LBS
Geco 115gr FMJ (EAA Elite Limited 4.75") 1204, 1212, 1222, 1202, 1213, 1229. Average = 1213.66 FPS/ 376 LBS

Here is my first 10 at a target off-hand at 15 yards popping them off

Second 10 but I slowed it down some to see what that would do

Followed those up with 10 Remington 115gr FMJ

   It's not really hotter than other 9mm's I have tested but seems pretty accurate. I will compare them to another different brand next time out.

   I retested Magtech 115gr FMJ after these using the EAA Elite Limited 4.75": 1185, 1205, 1189, 1208. Average = 1196.75 FPS/ 366 LBS

Very nice, The second one where you slowed down showed the group getting tighter. 8)
I miss my 9mm for playing around...I'll get me another some day! :-[

  Snag up one of those Limiteds! With the flared magwell on there you can slap a new one in there in your sleep. I love shooting the 9mm version because it doesn't move and the brass dribbles out. One day I am going to load up all my mags and see how well/fast I can mow through all of them.

   I shot this ammo again for the third time and can say for a fact it groups better. Going forward I will be looking to pick this up for target practice when available.
