Default Rate of twist vs bullet weight

We all talk about certian rifles that like or shoot better with certian bullet weights.

Does bullet weight and rate of twist impact muzzel volicity or accuracy .

ie. my 30.06 will spray Federal premium trophy bond 165 gr all over a target at 100 yards.
Yet at the same distance with winchester super X 180 gr groups tightn to -2" groups

So what is the culprite. Bullet speed , weight, or rate of twist of my rifle? or any rifle for that matter?

Ps the rifle is a sporterized p-17 (not a new one by any means)

Hunt for the sport, share the outdoors and most of all be safe and enjoy it......know your
back stop when shooting!!
