According to the Venn diagram if I'm shooting a 55gn bullet then this will be good in all twist rates listed ?

Interesting to notice they've missed out the "normal" target bullet of 69gn...but I'd assume it would be somewhere in the middle with 62gn

It appears a good approximation.

There are differences with all bullet/charge/barrel combinations and then ambient conditions come in to it as well.

Good deals with Paul101, Charlotte the flyer, majordisorder, Charlie Muggins, among others. Thanks everybody.

Thanks Gazza. That’s useful as a guide.
