The part about using the lightest charge and working up is correct. The part about changing OAL? I've not ever seen a chart, or formula, or any other kind of authoritative guide that gives even a close estimate of how much a change in OAL will change pressure. We know, from experience, that a smaller (shorter) OAL will 'usually' result in higher pressure, and vice versa. But, how much is really fuzzy science.
