    GECO/RUAG .556 ?

    Recently got my hands on 200 rds of this and was wondering should I stack it for later or shoot it ? I'll be honest I had to look around on the net but haven't seen much on it. Not sure what it's best for.TIA

    GECO stuff is generally high quality German stuff, although it shows up very cheap from time to time. Maybe they contract out and do some stuff like Wolf, where they buy from plants all over the place. But I have no idea if they do that.

      Took me a few searches to even find it was GECO and even then the red box was showing up until I found this picture which are like the boxes I have. Also found that it's Norma too lol. I searched RUAG because that's what's on the boxes.

      Just wondering if it's good stuff or just range ammo.

      ETA: Thanks

        The last Geco ammo I bought is marked as made in the EU. Research tells me that they buy or manufacture in different countries at different time.
        Everything that I've bought from them is high quality.
        I would not hesitate to buy it.

              Usually if it is the cheap Norma/Ruag/Geco stuff, it is most likely made in Hungary.

              Good stuff though, shoot with confidence.
