What techniques do you use to develop the most accurate load for a given caliber, same powder type and bullet weight?

I usually load of 5 cartridges with the same powder charge, same bullet weight. I try 3 different powder weights about .5 gr apart and shoot 3, 5 shot groups. Then I pick the best of the three. Then I repeat with various powder weights .2 gr apart around the best of the original 3.

Curious to know what technique you use.
