About Steel bolts

Steel bolts are a members-only type of ammunition in Old School RuneScape.

"Steel crossbow bolts"

Over the last 30 days they traded between 41 and 83 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 54 gp. About 113,920 units changed hands per day. The price is down 19.0% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 7,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 1 gp in Grand Exchange tax.

Casting High Level Alchemy returns 4 gp, which is 92.6% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
