As with any load. Begin with the starting load and work up 1 grain at a time.

I think it was your post I put these in a little while ago but these are some decent links to check out. But MoBuck is right on the money with the start loads, but depending on how much time you will have to test the loads I would recommend working up no more than .5 grains at a time. Good Luck and Good Shooting!
