Yes I Trued everything per your thread about ar accuracy but still had a broken bolt.
I have one of David tubb's levels on my 308. That rifle put me on a 4" plate at 1000 yards at best of the west in liberty hill. That range always has the same direction of wind though. I want to learn more.
I think your bolt issue was metallurgy. If you get a good bolt made from properly heat-treated steel, it will last you. Multiple vendors have come online with 9130 bolts in the past 6 months, so you should be able to get a well-made one by the time of the course. I'm actually interested to see what Todd has to say about the Grendel, knowing his outlook on things (shorter quality barrels, high BC pills), so I'll do what I can to help you get a 9130 bolt or 2. You should always take at least 2 rifles to a course, since Murphy's law rules.
