According to Roy Jinks the turn line is an indication the revolver is working properly. The cylinder stop is designed to ride on the cylinder and the line is not an indication of a poorly timed revolver.

Many of my revolvers from the 1950s have minimal turn lines, just a tiny dash leading into the bolt notch. On the other hand, my Model 25-2 made in 1980 has an actual groove worn in the surface of the cylinder from constant contact of the bolt.

Well, there you have it. Yes, in a perfect world every seed planted would sprout, none of our kids would have cavities, and the cylinder stop wouldn't drag on the cylinder as it turns. But the reality is...well, you know. As far as any practical impact on the function of your revolver, forget it. You're better off spending your 'mind time' on which load should be your carry-load, or whether or not you should get a good trigger job.
