For me, simply staying within advertised pressure limits works fine. The more important considerations are typically barrel length, for more MV, the right powder, and an accuracy node for my barrel as shown on the target (typically also means consistent MV with small sd, usually <10). Sometimes, esp in a bolt action, you can use a longer OAL to get a bit more powder but even that might only get you to the next higher node.
Max MV, or max pressure, hasn't really gotten me that, so it may be academic but I don't really spend a lot of time thinking about it.
100 fps increase usually amounts to about 50 yds extra distance for a given velocity. Try it on the ballistic app of your choice.
my 2 cents.
