Broke another bolt.... your thoughts??

These are my thoughts as well.

If you have a new bolt watch for a wear pattern on back of the lugs. The lugs should show equal signs of wear.

Reduce your loads and cut back on the gas.

Maybe try a H2 buffer and keep the rest of your set-up.

Ok I cleaned the old bolt head and noticed a bunch of irregular wear. The lugs closest to the extractor have enough wear on the face and sides of the lugs to have the coating rubbed off and be shined and polished in a couple of small spots. Lugs opposite extractor have no visible wear marks on the face and barely any along the sides like the others do. This mean my barrel and bolt aren’t lining up properly? That, combined with my hot loads, ultimately causing failure? Or is the wear from the hot load and bad unlock time?
