LEAD FREE EXCELLENCE: GECO STAR & GECO ZERO
GECO STAR & GECO ZERO – Experience Lead-Free Excellence in Hunting
Maximum precision, reliable performance and state-of-the-art bullet technology – the lead-free alternatives GECO STAR and GECO ZERO set new standards in hunting practice. Both bullet designs offer an outstanding combination of precision, energy transfer and ballistics that proves itself in every hunting situation.
Precision without compromise
With GECO STAR and GECO ZERO, you get two technically sophisticated alternatives to classic lead bullets. Both were developed with the aim of ensuring consistent point of impact, efficient energy transfer and reliable effect on the target – regardless of calibre, game type or shooting distance.
Lead-free hunting ammunition from GECO impresses with its precise manufacturing, stable trajectories and consistent accuracy. Whether in the field, in the forest or in the mountains – GECO stands for technical perfection and hunting reliability.
Solid bullet with maximum penetration
GECO STAR - THE DYNAMIC HUNTING BULLET
The GECO STAR is a deformation bullet made of solid copper, developed for medium to large game. It ensures maximum penetration, almost complete residual weight and reliable exit wounds – even at long ranges.
Features & advantages of the GECO STAR
Solid copper bullet for stable deformation and penetration
Residual weight close to 100% – even with heavy game
Reliable exit wounds and reliable tracking marks
Consistent precision at short and long ranges
Lead-free hunting ammunition for the highest technical demands
The GECO STAR shows its strengths particularly with red deer, wild boar and chamois. The solid construction ensures controlled energy release and reproducible effect – shot after shot.

Partial fragmentation for rapid energy transfer
GECO ZERO – THE CLEVER HUNTING BULLET
The GECO ZERO stands for precise targeting and high instantaneous effect. The fragmentation bullet with two tin cores produces a controlled fragmentation effect and immediate energy transfer in the target – perfect for light to medium game when rapid effect is required.
Features & advantages of the GECO ZERO:
Two-part tin core for defined fragmentation and stable residual mass
High precision and consistent point of impact
Rapid energy transfer for immediate effect
Minimal damage to game thanks to controlled fragmentation
Ideal for roe deer, young wild boar and foxes
The two tin cores of the GECO ZERO work together perfectly: the front core provides splintering and instant effect, while the rear core provides depth effect and stability. This gives you a precise, effective bullet for a wide variety of hunting situations.
