I've never seen it happen but have long heard that it can occur. The term for it, IIRC, is "stripping in the bore." As I understand it, the rifling is too shallow, the bullet too soft, etc, for the bullet to follow the rifling.

<br>Sierra's advice more likely referred to the probability that your rifle would give the lighter bullets the deadly (for the bullet) combination of both too much velocity and too much spin.

<br>I once saw about ten out of twelve 75-grain Hornady A-Max .224s become bursts of gray dust just a few yards from the muzzle -- ammo had gotten BADLY overheated in an MTM box exposed to direct sunlight too long, out on the central Wyoming plains. Rounds allowed to cool in the shade went the full distance -- one a head shot on a badger at 880 yards. (NOT one of MY shots, alas!).
