124gr Geco 9mm fmj ammo?

[Drew78]

At my local mom and pop gun store today just looking for reasons to spend money and i came across this ammo. 50 round boxes for 9.99 each. In my part, that's a great price for 9mm let alone 124gr.

I know nothing about this stuff? Is it decent range ammo? Brass cased.

Thanks!

SG Ammo has 124gr made in Switzerland, says it's magnetic.

I purchased a case of that many months ago. It has worked perfectly in everything from Kahr MK9's, Sigs and Glocks. Need to buy more

Thank you for the reply. Forgive my ignorance, but what does "SG" stand for? So the fact that is magnetic would indicate a steel core behind that false facade of copper plating?

SG Ammo is an online supplier and they have 124gr Geco. They say it's magnetic, which means it doesn't play nice with steel targets and some backstops, and may be prohibited at some ranges.

Thank you. I Google-d it and most online places say bi metal as you indicated and a mild steel core. No go for me, my indoor place has a strict policy against steel core.

Geco ammo is made in a few different countries / factories so you really need to check the details.

I bought a couple of cases a few years ago and it ran great in everything I shot it through and IIRC it wasn't too dirty either.

Handgun ammo out for commercial sale in the US won't have a steel core, mild or otherwise.

Bimetal means it's a mild-steel jacket.

Different than a steel core, but it may still be against your range rules as it can cause sparks.
