That is one reason I have found this site so helpful. Having reputable manufactures and suppliers identified by people with extensive experience with those parties, is to me, much better that trying to figure out anything from reading gun magazines. You still have to be able to sift through all of the useless and inaccurate information that comes with the internet but at least the good information is there if you have the patience to find it.

Do they have anything other than the .264 LBC? I think we are all using the same bolt.
I would like to add that in the other thread, it was pointed out that myself and dammitman were the only ones that have broken bolts. It was also pointed out that since the information I had found had no hard evidence to back it, this wasn't a "known" problem, but a fluke. How many other bolts have broken and been blamed on "suppressed" or hard use. Now with Nukes that makes 3 recorded here.
