I ordered 1,500 rounds of the Norma 124 grain 9MM.  It shoots fine and is fairly hot.  Only issue is that the flash hole is too small for the punch on my Dillon press.  This is a consideration for those of us that reload.

Mine came yesterday. Got to wait for the snow to clear out before I head to the range to try it.

Went to the range yesterday. And when I got back home, the ammo was finally delivered. I'll have to wait until next time to try it.

I think the Geco 115gr is cleaner than the S&B. Did you find the Norma 124gr fairly clean?  I guess I'll find out soon enough.

I only shot 30 rounds and gave the barrel a quick clean and didn't notice anything unusual.

I've never used any Geco 124gr and just checked them out  the price seems fair (for these crazy times 2022) if they are cleaner than the S&B I'm going to give them a try since I didn't mine the S&B.

I've used Geco, S&B, PPU, PMC, Remington, Winchester, Mag-Tech Federal, Freedom Munitions and some others through the years. I haven't noticed any of my weapons being considerably dirtier after using one brand over the other. I generally clean them after each range session, so they don't really have a chance to get real scrungy.

Norma has a more pungent smell than the other ammo I've shot, and there is a bit more smoke.  Not sure if that has any practical implications.

I just shot some Sellier & Bellot 115gr and it too seemed to have an undesirable pungent odor.

Funny you mention about the smell. Last session, I shot about 100 rds of Geco 115 grain. And then I switched to my last 40 rounds of Remington Green box 115gr and the Remy smelled really strong, where I didn't notice much from the Geco.

And I always felt the Remington was the dirtiest of the others I tried: Amer Eagle, S&B and Geco. But I still consider myself a beginner. Another thing I noticed about the Geco is the underside of the cartridge rim is sharper than normal.

Next time I go to the range (outdoor) Ill pay more attention to the smell when using the Norma I don't recall any pungent odor. However I did notice the Norma Tac22 was the worst experience I've ever had with my BuckMark and I was using other brands and they shot perfect so it wasn't the gun. I've used Tac22 prior with no issues I'm wondering if maybe quality assurance was off that day??
