You can stabilize a lighter grain bullet in a tighter twist but hardly ever will you stabilize a heavy bullet in a slower twist rifle barrel. For a 1 in 12 twist barrel I'd stop fighting the bullet craze and go straight for the 55gr bullets. They'll work perfect for almost all applications in that rifle.

Head is right if you want to shoot 70 gr bullets buy or build the rifle that shoots those well.
