Broken bolts- thing of the past?

[SHORT-N-SASSY]

Personally, I believe it is basically not enough steel on the bolt when using a fat cartridge like a Grendel. Wish it wasn't so but you get to the point where you can't remove any more metal or even the slightest variation in something breaks the part. So guys spend a lot of effort ensuring everything is absolutely perfect when they build a Grendel upper and those uppers work but I dare say that no matter what you do with one, it will not last half as long as a average rack grade 5.56 bolt. I have come to the conclusion that those are the facts and if you want to enjoy a Grendel, have a spare bolt ready to go.

And, in addition to the CMMG Anvil, as pointed out by sneaky one, the up-coming Faxon Firearms ARAK-21 6.5mm Grendel:
