Respectfully, you can have your own opinion, but 30 plus years of handloading for high-powered rifles tells me differently.

While developing a load, starting low and working up, you eventually reach a spot at which your load is most accurate. Adding more powder, after this point, makes your groups spread out rapidly to the point that you are not even on the paper.

There is a formula for determing proper twist, the Greenhill Formula. Velocity is a major factor in this formula.
