Other calibres

Bullet GECO STAR

GECO STAR is the name of the newest development by GECO. The lead-free deformation bullet promises maximum penetration and a high residual weight. Thanks to the hollow point, the new STAR bullet reliably deforms at nearly any hunting distance. Its excellent inherent precision is mainly due to the performance grooves. This makes the GECO STAR the perfect bullet for hunters who use lead-free bullets and want to minimise damage to the game. The projectile is particularly suited to hunting small to medium-sized game.

“25 professional hunters were kitted out with the GECO STAR after successful laboratory tests using ballistic soap. Over 550 take-down reports were analysed and evaluated at the end of a fantastic hunting season. The results on roe deer, wild boar and red deer demonstrate that the GECO STAR works reliably as a dynamic lead-free deformation bullet and is an outstanding alternative to leaded bullets.”

GECO centerfire rifle cartridges in caliber 8x57 IS

In 1905, the 8 x 57 IS was developed from the old military cartridge 8 x 57 I – the “S” stands for spitzer bullet. This universally usable calibre can be optimally used for all game occurring in Europe, because as a rule there is less haematoma formation with it.

With the 185 gr Softpoint bullet, the 196 gr GECO Plus bullet and the 139 gr, lead-free GECO Zero, GECO is offering a broad range of this popular calibre.

For training and also competition, there is also the 187 gr GECO sports bullet in a 50 pack.
