Not true.
This is the reason the 6mm failed, it was first designed as the .244 with a 1-12 twist which did poorly stabalizing the 100 gr bullets. Later remington re introduced the 6mm, in a 1 -9 twist, but it was to late, nobody paid attention, the .243 was on its way.
I thought the 6mm wouldnt chamber as a short cartridge, unless you seat very deep losing any benefit from the bigger case.
And if I were building a hot rod 6mil I would do a 1-8 twist to stabalize the 105 to 115 gr bullets, those have monster BC numbers
