I think you'll get a better match if you do a linear calculation not on velocity but on bullet energy. Take the kinetic energy of the minimum and maximum loads and draw a straigh line between the two to find the kinetic energy of the between load and then calculate velocity based on that kinetic energy.

I have found that this works very well when someone posts results of several powder charges.
