you buy one of those meme straight rifled sbrs

You ignore it and use fragmenting ammunition or bonded OTMs.
Jackson Lee
wiggle your arms while firing.
Michael King
"Bolo" rounds
Jaxon Morales
Make the bullet longer

In theory, you shoot from a certain distance. The tumble only works at certain velocities.
In practice, just keep shooting. You've got a lightweight, high velocity round. Poke enough holes in a man and he's gonna die.

A 20" 1:12 or (1:14 maybe) twist barrel, and use the heaviest round that it can possibly stabilize, 55 grain (can't remember exactly but i think 1:12 stabilizes too well and you want a bit of wobble but nit tumbling before the target). The idea is to barely stabilize the bullet. This is also an excellent way if increasing lethality because one gets a more lethal bullet behaviour in targets from 300 - 600 but ibe doesnt sacrifice any fragmentation effect at under 300m. In fact, fragmentation is excellent due to the 3200ish+ fps one achieves with this bullet weight and barrel length.
Eli Price
Fragmentation only happens above an approximate velocity threshold. Tumbling actually becomes more consistent at distance because the angle of attack of the bullet stabilizes and at a certain point increases.
Easton Green
Long barrel. Close quarters.
