1-9 is a very versatile twist. It should be able to handle the varmint bullets above 40 grains, and keep you entirely stabilized up to 62 grains.
It's not so much the weight of the bullet which matters, but the length. I would think that anything under 77 grain OTM might be just fine, but...Over 62 grain I would be careful.

What is the most accurate bullet for a Remington XP 100?
That would depend on the caliber of the particular Remington Model XP-100 you have. Remington chambered these hand-guns in a multitude of calibers from .221 Fireball and up to the .350 Remington Magnum, so rifling twists will be different from one caliber to the next and the specific twist in that barrel will play a big role in how accurate a bullet performs.
Why does your bullet tumble when it comes out of the barrel?
Bullets fired from a rifled firearm should NOT tumble in flight. If they do so, it is a sign of problems. This may be caused by different matters that all relate to the rifling in the firearm, and the bullet. First is rifling is badly worn, if the bore is oversized for the bullet, or if rifling is badly fouled with lead/ jacketing metal/powder deposits, the bullet will not be gripped by the rifling and spun, and may not be stable in flight (tumbling) Try cleaning the bore properly, and check for excessive wear at the muzzle. The second condition is the wrong weight/length of bullet for the rate of twist of the rifling. A fast rate of twist, combined with a very fast bullet, MAY result in the bullet "stripping", and not being spun by the rifling. Or a very heavy, slow bullet may not be spun fast enough to stabilize the bullet. Most .22 rimfire rifles are rifled to shoot 40 grain bullets accurately. If loaded with a 60 grain bullet, such as the Aguilla 60 gr SSS, the bullet will not be stabilized, and may tumble in flight.
