My experience shows 175 to 180 grain bullets typically shoot more accurate in those conditions. 190's in a 22 inch 30-06 1:10 twist will also be very good.

190's in 12 inch twist 308 Winchester barrels 24 inches long won lots of matches.

Bullets need not to be spun too fast for best accuracy. Good example is 7.62 NATO M80 ball ammo's 147 grain bullets usually shot most accurate at long ranges from 1:13 or 1:14 twist barrels leaving about 3000 fps.
