Was looking at getting some once fired brass in 44 mag . Wondered if anyone had any experiences with it in any calibre?

I've reloaded Geko brass in 357, 38 Special and 9mm
Not much to say about it really, consistent primer pocket size, resizes well and not prone to case splitting, even with hot loads.

I think Geko is a German RWS owned company so they do make good ammunition.

Geco are not owned by RWS, they are a division of Ammotec, who also own RWS, Norma and Rottweil and as such the brass used by these companies is the same. Ammotec were owned by the Swiss Defence giant RUAG but were recently sold entirely to Beretta. I have been loading Geco 38Spl, 357Mag, and 9mm also and get the same results as rc42, it's good stuff,Cheers.

Geco is some of my favorite 9mm and 45 ACP brass to load. Consistent and well made.

It's sold now under the Norma brand in the USA.

Been using geco brass in my 30-06s now for 5+ years great quality. Probably 6th reload already, trimmed some. No problems.

I got RWS, lapua, norma, nosler custom and it's right up there in quailty
