JFE nailed it, .89" length bullet is not stable in a 1 in 38, not even close. Check it for yourself at JBM or Barnes websites. If you have a 1 - 38 and you want to use factory ammo, the Lehigh is your solution, their 160 is your huckleberry, the bullet is .65": https://www.midwayusa.com/product/7...ehigh-xtreme-defense-lead-free-box-of-20Might be able to find them cheaper elsewhere.

Still no one has really answered my question. What is my barrel twist and is that appropriate for this bullet? That may answer everything. Several members have answered your question, But you have chosen to ignore their advice. It would be time wasted to comment further.

What kind of accuracy do you get with lead bullets?

It gives you an idea of the accuracy of your rifle. Did you buy it new or used? I would suggest having a COMPETENT gunsmith check the barrel. It's possible you got a lemon. It happens now and then with everything mass produced.

I would try taking it back to where you bought it and get an exchange or sending it back to the manufacturer for warranty

Leave Calipornia and live where you can shoot lead bullets. Pretty simple really Why let a bunch of dickheads keep you from the lead? Carry the [bleep] ones in your pocket and lead in the gun until you come out of the woods change the loads duh.

If you can't figure out the rate of twist, you shouldn't be messing with guns anyway. it ain't rocket surgery, it was explained to your obtuse ass, whiner. [bleep] no lead.if the bullets are tumbling obviously the twist is wrong, no other way to explain it.
