If I have a twist rate that is too fast for the bullet I am using. Do or can I use slower or faster burn rate powder to help compensate

Thanks in advance

I understand. I have 2 other bullets I have loaded for ladder tests. Then I will switch powders. Just had a question about about burn rates in relation to barrel twist. I reload for all my rifles and all shoot great. It was just a question about burn rate and barrel twist. I probably could have phrased it better

I would think that you would "shoot" for lower velocity, which may mean using a powder that still fills the case sufficiently while providing that lower velocity.  I don't know if that translates to the lower velocity powder selection being a slower or faster burning rate powder, necessarily, however.
