Soft-Point bullet
The GECO Teilmantel bullet is a versatile solution that works well in almost any hunting situation. The key to its success is its thin jacket. First the prominent lead tip mushrooms, and then the jacket reacts to the increased resistance by compressing. In the case of thick game, the deformation process can be partially uncontrolled, which means that you can't always count on a space.
A reliable cartridge with a long history
The .308 Winchester Magnum caliber, introduced in 1952 as a hunting and sporting cartridge, is distinguished by its high versatility and relatively good ballistics. It is suitable for any fleece game found in Europe. The GECO brand offers ammunition in this caliber with GECO Express, GECO TM, GECO Plus, GECO Zero (lead-free), GECO Target FMJ and GECO Sport bullets . Interestingly, its military version became the standard cartridge of the North Atlantic pact and adopted the 7.62 × 51 mm NATO designation.
