I bought a box of 50 a while back. I think I posted the exact same question LOL. It does have steel in the jacket which would give me pause shooting at steels but it worked fine for me. I bought it because it was 124gr instead of 115. MY preferred practice ammo is Speer Lawman 124gr but they didn't have any and the Geco was cheap. I have read reports elsewhere that they have harder primers than most US made stuff. However like I said I had no issues with it and i would buy it again.
