This is close to the "modified" Chris Long approach that I already use. Optimal barrel timing for the regular guy type of thing.
He also developed an empirical formula for predicting what MV will be that node, I find it pretty accurate although it does use several assumptions. None the less, it has been a useful approach for me.
The main reason for my original question is whether we can bump out the bullet seating enough to lower the pressure and increase powder room so as to get up to the (next) node, which has to be pretty close b/c we're not talking about much change in seating depth.
I might try some loads at the ~0.020 jump instead of my usual ~0.060 and see what happens.
