TGC I would be cautious about lenthening the patch, you're close enough to the ogive that much longer may not give you good shred on the patch along with chambering problems.
I've also found that the longer patches will take 2-3 minutes more elevation , and I believe can also result in an occasional unexplained dirt digger.
But as with everything shooting, it's something you can try and let the rifle and target be the final determiners.
