There are recipes for broken 6.5 Grendel bolts, Satern/Liberty 18” barrels with over size gas ports plus short chambers. Another culprit having a barrel extension not square with the bolt putting uneven pressure on the bolt lugs in combination with hot ammo. Another potential culprit, 18” mid length gas barrel with no adjustable gas block running a suppressor. Another area of concern to me are 6.5 Grendel or variants with .125 bolt face bolts of dubious quality which might be more prone to breakage.
I feel sure if people were regularly breaking bolts we’d see it here on the forum. In my opinion the current 6.5 Grendel bolts are doing better than the 7.62x39.
