Anyone using a ptg bolt?

[stevescg80]

Have a remington 700 short action I bought from a customer and the bolt face is trashed ie to hot of a load and peeled the bolt face. I am wanting to get a ptg bolt since the action if fine and unharmed. Anyone using one and who installed it and reamed the raceway?How is it working for you?

I am using one in a 6X47lapua and is working very well. 308 nate did the work. He uses alot of ptg bolts in his custom pheonix actions. If you do a search for nate here you will be able to see some of his work and you can make up your own mind on the bolts.


here is a video of a pheonix action and ptg bolt feeding:

80, i would be leary of the receiver, namely the lugs. if the load was hot enough to damage the bolt face, it certainly could do harm the the lugs in the receiver. i hope you've had someone that's qualified check your action to determine if it is truely "fine and unharmed"
