I'm trying to figure out the best angle for a Stihl .325" pitch .050 gauge - Chain model : 23RS

Can't understand on the Stihl grinding chart... I have an Oregon 410-120 and I already understand the angles are inverted but I still don't understand their chart for this one as it looks like it says the top plate angle should be 75 for the RS? Which just seems incorrect..... 😶 The Stihl grinding angle chart sucks 😔

Those angles are just starting points.

I use 30°/55°/0° on most chains, unless someone requests something else, or I have a specific reason.

25°/55°/0° is on what I settled on all my chains.

The 25° holds a better edge, this was a game changer for me and what I cut.
I can't get beyond 55° on my grinder, though I'd like to on semi chisel, still works fine.
Anything +/- 0° doesn't seem to change much for what I cut so I just leave it at 0°
