[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1143230, member: 13833"] As long as the jackets are holding up, extra twist is not usually a problem unless you are a benchrest shooter. Too much velocity with too much twist can vaporize some bullets but you should not have that problem with a 6.5/284 unless you were trying to shoot extremely light bullets at very high velocity. The diameter of the lands can also be a factor. i.e. 3 groovers tend to be harder on borderline jackets.......Rich [/QUOTE]
