IN STOCK Hybrid MONSTER Bolt

[Happy2Shoot]

So max pressure is capped at 52,000 psi due to weak bolt lugs.

These new bolts are 97% vs 50% thick.

Can we run the 6.5 Grendel hotter? How high? 55,000 psi, 60,000 psi?

I don't have a pressure gage anyways. If a max load of VARGET was 24.8gr; with this new bolt is it now 25.3gr?

Or is this just a safer bolt at current load data?

@BluntForceTrauma

Are these bolts pressure tested? If so, to what pressure, and is it once or many times? Example: 10 rounds at 80kpsi or one round at 80kpsi.

I ask because you seem to be a small shop, making big improvements. I assume you are not milling these yourself but instead directing a larger manufacturer that already makes bolts? Do they pressure test? Thank you.

This has nothing to do with my question above. For the A to B thinkers, I'm not trying to shoot 80kpsi ammo.

Started a separate post, inspired by that question. I personally suspect the BFT sourced bolts to be stronger than baseline, and that to be stronger than the 52000 PSI rating by a good bit. No test data or anything to back that up, aside from a lack of anyone actually breaking Grendel bolts in a long time, despite the hot pressures many run

Thank you BFT.

I can't wait for the ULTRABOLT!!!! Well, I can and I have to. Very excited!

Any word on the new extractors?

[BluntForceTrauma]

HERE.

Did I mention I just became an Aero Precision dealer? Remember that ShamWow infomercial? Guy tosses out a line, "Made in Germany; you know the Germans always make good stuff." Aero Precision always makes good stuff! These days I don't use any other parts, when an equivalent Aero part is available. Find them on my site, too!

[Old Bob]

I bought two of the Ultrabolts with standard extractors when they were for sale in early March. I just need the new & improved extractors. Is your manufacturer gonna try making the extractors again with the correct specs?

[BluntForceTrauma]

Yes, Old Bob, we will eventually and most definitely get my "dream" extractor. Got everything ironed out with them. Next round.

[Happy2Shoot]

I bought 3.

Thank you for taking the risk, and doing something new.

How big of an order did you have to buy up front, 500?

[BluntForceTrauma]

H2S, the sky's the limit on orders; "buy in bulk and save!" But, yes, this order was 500.
