300 WSM load

I am currently loading my 300 WSM with 67 gn of H4831sc that results in 2850 fps using the Berger 215 hybrid in a 32" barrel. Great precision and consistency. I am looking for a load that will push the same bullet at about 2930 fps while keeping low SD and ES. Any suggestion?
 
Keep going up in powder would be my suggestion. If you already know your velocity now, I'm assuming you have a chronograph. Speed isn't everything I'd go for what the barrel likes and accept that.

+2 ! Accuracy trumps velocity every time. You could try working up your powder charge very slowly to see if you can find the next velocity accuracy node if you are not showing pressure signs now. But if the velocity /accuracy node you have now will get the job you need done then why over work the rifle and your shoulder with more recoil?
