What bolts are you guys using?

[FRB6.5]

I've been using the Monster bolts BFT has offered in the group buy section of this site. They have been great. Only thing I changed was breaking the sharp edge in the extractor channel with a small file. This is a common tweak to reduce brass shaving.

Is the bolts I use.

Although I've never broken an extractor, I do have spares. The ones I got from PF for 6.5 Grendel bolts have the points & the front bevel ground down a tad & polished. My Odin bolt never made any extractor marks. The rims on fired brass look perfect. My Monster bolt is still virgin (waiting for my 6mm ARC barrel to break it in). Looking at the extractor under 10x magnification, it looks like the points might need a little polishing. They do look kinda rough & sharp. I'll get around to that eventually.

A BCA bolt and carrier in one 6.5 Grendel and in my other one an Oden Works bolt and carrier. So far no problems.

Monster and Toolcraft. I am more recent to the 6.5 grendel game so I don't have thousands of rounds through either yet, but the have been reliable so far.

JP Rifles. Never a problem

PF and Monster bolts in PF carriers. Never a problem but did need to polish the extractor very lightly.
