These are the slowest tested to date and they have a wax/grease on them. I doubt I buy anymore after this test.

IIRC, those are "Gallery" rounds. Meant for indoor short range shooting. The wax is a hard lube as used in Cast bullet shooting.

I've shot a fair amount of Geco in .357 Magnum, and really like them enough to try their .22LR if I could ever find any in stock at a decent price which I haven't been able to do, but after reading this, much too expensive for what they are.
