Altering speed rapidly unsafe?

If I've proven that my RAM runs perfectly at 250MHz, but I want to push my CPU further, is it unsafe to downclock it to 200MHz in one step when I'm switching to 5:4? What about pushing it back up to 250 from 200 if I'm unhappy with the results? I've heard the rule of thumb about incrementing speed increases by 5MHz, but I figured this might just be to make sure you don't accidentally overstep the bounds of your device.
 
It's not unsafe at all.
You guessed correctly...the 5MHz step, 1MHz step or whatever step is just to get you to your highest OC. I usually go in "giant steps" until I have problems then step back and try smaller increments.
