For a given caliber, the lighter & shorter the bullet the slower the twist rate required to stablize it. The heavier & longer the bullet the faster the twist rate needs to be.

1 in 16" or 1 in 14" are the normal twist rates for .35 caliber rifles using bullet weights of approximately 200 to 250 grains.

I would think your problem is not the 1 in 14" twist rate.
