Bolt wet is one thing. Flooded chamber is another.
But Bill Alexander advised I run a wet bolt in his Grendel.
I've run hundreds of rounds through that rifle that way in an afternoon and the bolt/components simply wipe clean upon disassembly.

Since then I've run a wet bolt in all my Stoners unless in high dust/sand for extended periods.
Then MiliTec.
