I'm curious as to whether grade 8 high strength steel bolts are stronger than A2-70 bolts?
Also, I'm curious if the silicone bronze nuts will strip out when torquing to 15 ft lbs as those will be the bolt I will be using.

A2 stainless has about 12% lower tensile strength and about 30% lower strength than 8.8 steel. A4 stainless has the same tensile strength and only 6% lower yield strength
