I've sheared 2 bolts including a JP in my Grendel (with the JP being partially my fault), a Maxim at 1500 in my ARC and a Toolcraft Type 1 in my 243 LBC (basically a 6 Grendel). I'd be happy if a bolt lasted as long as a barrel in Arc/Grendel, but that hasn't been my experience.Interesting, good to know. I'm not surprised your bolt failed before your barrel. ARCs and Grendels are fairly low pressure, so they're supposed to be pretty easy on barrels. I'm at about 1000 rounds out of my ARC, and I haven't seen any issues with my bolt. And yes, I do a thorough inspection on my rifles every 1000 rounds.
