Geco 32 ACP
Is GECO .32 ACP decent stuff? I may be getting a 32 and saw some of this for sale. IIRC the old GECO 9mm P. stuff ran a little hotter than our domestic ammunition. Is this the case with the current GECO ammunition? Are the cases decent for reloading?

Geco is great ammo. Yes it is usually loaded hotter than the Walmart counter part. Brass is A+ for reloading.
If you reload .32 acp I tip my hat sir! I load the .32 S&W and find it an experiment that exceeded expectations.

I've shot a fair amount of Geco 32 acp and it's good stuff but mine is
from a good stash bought probably 20 yrs ago so it may not be the
same as current ammo. It has the silver colored bullet. I still have a
decent stash of the old hot 9mm with the silver bullet, 124 gr at
1200+ fps. I bought a case of 9mm 124 gr FMJ Geco a few years ago
with the copper washed steel jacketed bullet that is clean, accurate
stuff but chronos only about 1060 fps. I think current 9mm is no
longer made in Germany so it may be different than mine.

That ammo is fine as far as 32 goes.

I remember Geco .32 and .380 ammo working perfectly in the PPK pistols that malfunctioned with the American FMJ ammo in these calibers. These may be a bit "warmer" than the American loads.

Geco would be my choice for a FMJ load.
