I would not suggest "shortening the curve" by jumping right into maxloads.I suggest you make at least 5 loads for every grain of increase from start load to max.If you have a chrono,check each 1 gr increment.You should get a fairly uniform increasein velocity per grain.Say 60 fps or so,for illustration.
You may get 59,56,then you may get 38 fps.You just hit the wall.Go back to the last load,1 gr down,and call it your max.,or,even farther back if you want more margin.
In my experience Varget likes the upper end of a safe load.
