There is no such thing as a stable bullet after impact.
Really? I saw a test with a flat point solid shot down an oversize bore with no rifling at all viable on the recovered bullets penetrate dead straight, every time tested. It has been demonstrated that higher twist aids in stability after impact and that the bullets continue to spin as they penetrate. A stability factor of 2 or more is needed to maintain stabilization after impact. The cartridge was the 470 Capstick
A mono metal solid of 400 grains in 416 with a 16" twist has penchant to tumble, not evry time but a good bit of the time, also with a 14 twist it happens time to time, but increase the twist to 12 and they rarely if ever tumble.
