    Would like to reload for this rifle. Are there reloading tables with data specific to Browning BARs in different calibers?

    Also any suggestions for determining bullet seating depth?

    Thanks for the help.

    Never seen or heard of any data specific to BARs.

    Seating depth needs to fit the magazine, of course. If you want to know where the lands are, re-size a fired case, then cut the case neck lengthwise on one side with a Dremel or a hacksaw. Push a bullet into the mouth a little, and place it into the chamber by hand. Now, close the bolt. The split in the case neck will allow the lands to push the bullet into the case, but still let the case hold on to it enough that you can extract it from the chamber. That will tell you max seating length with that bullet.

    You may need to do this a couple times. If the bullet wants to pull out of the case when you open the bolt, you may need to push on it gently with a dowel or cleaning rod through the barrel.
