Anyone ever reload any GECO 9mm brass?

Haven't reloaded in years + when I did it was mostly rifle + on a single stage press.
Now, I reloading for my (3) 9mms with a Lee Classic hand loader. Only factory ammo I could find to re-use the brass was GECO 9mm 115gr TMJ. Never even heard of the stuff let alone shot it, but I guess it's German. My Security 9 didn't like it from the get go. Had problems jamming on the feedramp. P85 + EC9S ate em up cuz they have a much wider feedramp at the bottom.
Now, gotta beat the tar outta some of these to get them into the sizing die. Naturally, same problem knockin them outta the die to prime. I'm lubin the cases + hittin em with a 12oz mallet, just doesn't seem right to have to beat the tar outta some + tap the others once.
Usually when something this simple is this difficult, it's cuz yer doin somethin wrong. Any suggestions or experience with this brass?
