Could be wrong,but I would be surprised if the 12 twist would shoot the 60gr bullets accurately.
Are those bullets a flat base ?? What rifle do you have that has a 12 twist bbl ?? --- SAWMAN

Yes it is a flat base. A bunch of people shoot the 60gr Sierra hp and 60gr Nosler partitions from 12” twist rifles. According to Sierra 12” is adequate for their 60gr hp, and 10” is required for the 65gr gameking.
