Your advice follows exactly what a friend of mine here locally says. He suggested 88, 89, 90 grain loads for 3 shot groups and possibly have 90.5 or 91 ready if pressure is not seen earlier.
I just worry about "missing a node" by these larger jumps. This is the first time I've had access to a chrono for load development.
I am using H1000 powder as well.
Thanks
Remember, 1grain = ~1% change in load. As a result, you won't miss a node. Once you find a load that shoots well, then you can experiment with .5grain +/- to fine tune.
Have you found the best COAL? (Cartridge Over All Length) You should do this before working on charge weights.
