Many many years ago I picked up a Rem 700 in 7mm Rem Mag from a guy getting a divorce. I absolutely fell in love with the rifle. He gave me the recipe he worked up for the rifle and some the components he used. The brass was nickel plated (yeah, yeah, I know. I've read all the negatives to nickel plated brass (and agree with them), but I went many years not knowing the issues and was so happy with my rifle and the load).
I went to order some more brass and it's no longer made. I really don't want to mess with the load as it is so good, but I'd like to load a bunch of ammo up for it. What do I do? Is there any way to figure out a way to use different brass with same results? Obviously there is, but how do I go about it without it taking forever and driving me nuts? Is it as simple as picking another quality brass and using a chrono to match the speed of my original load?
I suppose what I'm really asking is with the same bullet, does changing the brass affect accuracy if you can match the speed of original load?
