    Reloading for the bren gun

    Has anyone developed a load for a bren gun? I'm just beginning to reload and I have several hundred Prvi cases to reload but I'm not sure what powder would be appropriate. Also, I will be using 174gr fmj bullets pulled from POFicon ammo and some pulled 154gr tracer bullets. Thanks for any info.

    Thank you. The bren functioned great using 38 gr of IMR 4895 behind the 174 gr bullets. Now to try to figure out a safe load for 154 gr tracers that'll cycle the bren.
