After picking an OAL which feeds with a mid charge weight, then I would split the range into like 5 loads and try them for accuracy. I test 40 at 15 yds.
Sorry, but answering your question really isn't possible by my way of thinking...
FWIW, I like Titegroup, Longshot and AA#5 in 40. AA#5 is probably my favorite, but Longshot is faster.

That OAL fed fine, though I only fired 20 rounds so that's not really a very good sample size.
If I didn't care about power factor, I'd be working up this load like you would. I load other cartridges for general plinking and accuracy, but this load is so I can make major power factor in USPSA. Once I work this load up to 925-930 fps I'll test for accuracy and if it's not acceptable then, well, I'm not sure what I'll do. I suspect it will be accurate enough for what I want this load to do, though.
