. . .I am at 39 grains of IMR 4350 now and I am in the low 1900 ft/ sec already.  (1910-1935)  That is a little over 100 ft/ sec faster than my first loads which were loaded to 37 grains of that powder.  So, a little over 100 ft/ sec more velocity with one full grain of powder. . .

If you gained ~100fps from 37 to 39 grains, that's ~50fps per grain, not 100.

~50fps per grain is what QuickLOAD software predicts -

Cartridge          : .30-40 Krag
Bullet             : .308, 220, Sierra SPRN 2180
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.089 inch or 78.46 mm
Barrel Length      : 30.0 inch or 762.0 mm
Powder             : IMR 4350

Predicted data by increasing and decreasing the given charge,
incremented in steps of 2.564% of nominal charge.
CAUTION: Figures exceed maximum and minimum recommended loads !
