I shot some 60 grain Hornady soft points out of my Remington 1/12 twist ADL at the range. The group was consistently about an inch larger than the 55 grain Hornady SP's. I don't see how a 70 grain bullet will shoot well at all out of a 12 twist. In a 12 twist I think you should stick to 55's or less. Just my opinion.
