    Always good to have a spare bolt but I think the days of sheared lugs are pretty much over. I still caution people new to the Grendel to stay within published load data. About 3/4 of a max load has always seemed to be where people end up after their load testing. I think this is pretty much true of all rifle cartridges.

      Understand. I just have always carried few extra parts n such with me especially if I'm not close to truck or backpack hunting overnight or days. Nothing is worse than not having a working firearm over a small inexpensive part hours from nowhere.

        No so sure of that. I sheared lugs off of four or five bolts before the various enhancements to their design and metallurgy took hold. Personally I think the original Grendel bolt was a sheared lug waiting to happen. Since then there have been a lot of changes to them and now I don't think I have heard of a sheared lug for at least five years.

        BTW
        Well might be I got into the Grendel game after the problems were lessened. On the other hand bolts are not expensive.
