The perfect ammunition for predators
GECO Express in .222 Remington and .223 Remington
A winter morning. Frost on the stubble field. Somewhere out there, a fox cautiously pushes its nose out of cover. A brief moment – often all you get. That is exactly what predator hunting is about: precision, timing and a clean decision.
When hunting foxes, raccoons, raccoon dogs and other predators, caliber choice plays a decisive role. Not only because a prime winter pelt is often the focus, but also because predator hunting demands accuracy. Predators offer little target area, rarely stand for long and often disappear as quickly as they appear.
Predator hunting means: little time, small targets – and zero room for compromise.
Precision instead of over-caliber - Why less is often more
Whether in Germany, Scandinavia or North America: wherever predator hunting is practiced intensively, small-caliber, fast cartridges dominate. The reason is simple: predators do not require maximum stopping power, but precise shot placement, flat trajectories and controlled bullet performance.
Large calibers often destroy more than they deliver. Especially among fur hunters, the same principle applies worldwide:
Hit – don’t destroy.
This is where .222 Remington and .223 Remington come into play – two cartridges that stand worldwide for exactly these requirements.
GECO EXPRESS - Fast. Precise. Consistent terminal performance.
GECO Express follows a clear concept: high velocity meets rapid fragmentation.
The aerodynamic bullet is designed to respond quickly and release its energy rapidly – ideal for light game with small vital zones. The effect sets in early without unnecessary penetration or excessive meat and pelt damage.
Especially with short shot windows, it is not the paper energy that matters, but the interaction of:
- high inherent accuracy
- flat trajectory
- reliable terminal performance
This is exactly where GECO Express feels at home.
GECO .223 Remington - The modern classic
223 Remington is now one of the most popular predator cartridges worldwide – from German farmland to the prairies of North America. Technically, it is based on the proven .222 Remington, but further developed with slightly increased performance reserves.
In hunting terms, this means:
- high velocity
- excellent accuracy
- pleasantly mild recoil
Especially under winter conditions, when stance and trigger control are not always perfect, the .223 shows its strengths. It remains calm in the shot, is easy to control and is more forgiving of minor imperfections than larger calibers.
Combined with GECO Express, this results in a well-balanced package:
- flat trajectory for varying distances
- excellent accuracy for small vital zones
- rapid energy transfer for reliable terminal effect
In open terrain, when the fox stands a little farther out and holdover must be precise, this combination delivers exactly what predator hunting demands: reliability at the decisive moment.

GECO .222 Remington - The proven origin
.222 Remington is the classic predator cartridge – especially in Germany. For decades, it was the standard choice for fox hunting and remains highly respected internationally.
Its strengths:
- exceptional handling
- very high accuracy
- pleasant recoil behavior
Although it offers less performance reserve than the .223, that is exactly what makes it so appealing in many situations. At typical predator distances, it impresses with control and clean shot feel – qualities that matter particularly when hunting from a stand.
In combination with GECO Express, the .222 Remington becomes a balanced and honest predator option:
- flat trajectory
- excellent controllability
- reliable bullet response with proper shot placement
Those who hunt calmly, shoot precisely and value control will find this a timeless combination.

Conclusion - Predator hunting is not a caliber competition
It is not about “as big as possible”, but about what fits best. That is why .222 Remington and .223 Remington rank among the most popular predator calibers worldwide: precise, flat-shooting and effective – without unnecessary destruction.
And this is exactly where GECO Express fits perfectly:
fast, precise, predator-ready.
For open-field hunting. For variable distances.
And for those short, decisive moments when everything has to be right.
