Need a new bolt. Recommendations

[r.tenorio671]

I agree, the Aero bolt is high quality and would buy another if I could find one. As mention before, I think I caused the problem with it by getting a little to aggressive with trying to keep a tight headspace to prolong case life. We're using an Aero BCG in our 6.5 Grendel also with a much higher round count and not one hiccup.

....FWIW, I know it goes without saying but get on the email alert list with Aero & BA for when they come back into stock.  If the complete BCG's come into stock first I'd get one as the price difference between the complete BCG and just bolt really isn't that much if it comes down to an immediate need.

...I have other platforms I can get out and enjoy while I wait for a specific part, I don't care to be playing round robin with various parts I have no experience with that may or may not work as hoped, that can get expensive.  Once I validate a build and decide to keep it I'll start looking to acquire the consumable spares it may require over it's lifetime.  I know that in it's original build state it should last at least 1k-3K of rounds before something needs to be replaced, assuming I don't do something stupid....

...I have one of the LMT 6.8 bolts that went for less than $40 on Brownell's a while back when I was considering the 224V, but that got put on the back burner when reports of difficulty getting easily obtained accuracy started appearing. Those bolts have skyrocketed in price since, unsurprisingly.
