    I also have a 12 twist 223, it is now an AI version but it was not originally, anything from Barnes 30gr all the way to sierra 60gr and every thing in between, I did not see any difference at 100yrds, from these different bullets, I started to see some past 100yrds, but turning it into an AI cured all that.

    If your just shooting paper I would start with the 52 grn match bullets from different manufactures and find the one it likes best. That's if you can find any right now. The 69 grn Sierra Match King is a great choice but I don't think that 1 in 12" will stabilize it.
