Heaviest bullet for 1 in 12, 6 BR

I used old Hornady 87gr spire points for foulers back when I was shooting my Savage with a 12 twist Douglas/SSS. It would put them into tiny triangles [ usually fired 3 foulers after cleaning the bore ].
 
A 14 twist will stabilize a 70 grain bullet - well enough for Benchrest shooters, which is good enough for me.

I have a 12 twist 6PPC that will shoot 80 grain bullets with Benchrest accuracy. I've never tried 87 grainers, such as the other Ray has, but it would not surprise me to get the results he did.
