Multiple vendors have come online with 9130 bolts in the past 6 months, so you should be able to get a well-made one by the time of the course. I'm actually interested to see what Todd has to say about the Grendel, knowing his outlook on things (shorter quality barrels, high BC pills), so I'll do what I can to help you get a 9130 bolt or 2. You should always take at least 2 rifles to a course, since Murphy's law rules.
Yes. Metallurgy/bad batch was exactly what's research brought me to as well, but some didn't like to hear that and basically called BS on my research.
I have ordered two bolts through precision firearms, and talked to the guys at underground tactical (and they are local) about getting two. Hoping to have something by then. I really would like to have a good load put together for it before the class. Any help you can offer would be much appreciated.
On another note, peter at accurracy1st told me of we don't have 5 people the class will cancel. Right now it is just myself and my cousin. Soooo. Anyone want to join me?? ;-)
