With due respect to snolden's suggestion you try to get 2800 fps with that bullet, attempting to reach a given velocity in your barrel may not be a good idea. We don't know its internal dimensions and if they're on the big side of specs, you'll need to load powder charges way over maximum to do that.

Besides, bullets have no nervous system and therefore can not "like" any speed they fly at. They don't know how fast the leave the muzzle nor how fast they spin. There is an rpm spin rate each bullet shoots most accurately. It changes with twist and muzzle velocity. Any combination of twist and velocity that spins it best will produce the best accuracy.

Your 1:12 twist barrel will shoot that bullet somewhere between 2700 and 2900 fps with max loads and it'll do just fine.
