So this Super Bolt has potentially better geometry, yet is made from inferior steel. One step forward, one step back.
Better geometry, potentially inferior steel. Unless someone gets 30 normal USGI bolts, 30 'enhanced' bolts, 30 bolts using traditional geometry but 9130, and 30 bolts using traditional materials but new geometry, and shoots the living piss out of all of them in an equal and systematic fashion, we'll never really know for sure.

I think maybe the most important thing here is that the body is larger around the cam pin hole. I've been trying to get commercial bolt manufacturers to do that for a couple years. They are so thin there -- about .097-- that the 17% increase is huge. It's kinda like in engines-- the quickest way to more horselpower is more cubic inches. Well here, 17% more steel is a big deal. They didn't do it exactly the way I envisioned it but it would be every bit as effective, strength-wise. I need to try one of these out.

Tagging this one. Sounds very interesting.

There's always the LMT Enhanced and the LWRC Advanced; the read on the LWRC is especially interesting.
I haven't shot either of mine enough to come anywhere near their service lives.
I would be very interested in this test. The enhanced bolts do tickle the impulse buyer in me; but I need more info on them to spend that much money when I can get a bolt for 1/2 price that is a known performer.
I would think that 2 bolts would outlast even a "high Performance" bolt meant for high round count, not sure though?
We interrupt this programme to bring you an important news bulletin: the suspect in the Happy Times All-Girl Glee Club slaying has fled the scene and has managed to elude the police. He is armed and dangerous, and has been spotted in the West Side area, armed with a meat cleaver in one hand and his genitals in the other...
