John Bachar's favorite bolts tested

We tested Taper Bolts (3/8" x 2 5/8") from https://www.mktfastening.com/sites/default/files/content/downloadable-files/mkt_taper_bolt.pdf. Greg Barnes from the ASCA sent them to use and said they were John Bachar's favorite bolts. Thank you Bobby Hutton and Mike Rogers (@wolf_in_the_weeds) for destroying things for science with me.

In tension they were dangerously low at 9.78kn, 3.60kn, 4.80kn.

In Shear they were better at 22.58kn, 28.06kn and 24.76kn.
