When does a bullet start to tumble?

Round accuracy is improved by spinning the projectile. This is achieved by spiral grooves running down the length of the barrel.

This spin strengthens the momentum of the bullet along its trajectory and in part creating a stable vortex around the projectile.

Along its flight air friction slows and weakens the stable momentum of the projectile. Random environmental factors such as wind, particles, varying air pressure, then act on the bullet sending it off course.

Yet the weapon itself can be a cause of tumble also. Uneven cartridge and wear of the barrel allow the explosive forces and gasses to cause tumbling. That's why you can strip a weapon and change the barrel.

So in most respects the bullet begins to tumble as soon as it exits the barrel. A good indicator of when the tumble effects accuracy is the 'effective range' of a caliber. This a combination of unacceptable accuracy and ineffectual damage to a target. IE beyond the maximum range you can get hit and have nothing more than a minor bruise.
