I tried to do a search, but could not find the FAQ or thread that someone posted listing all the bolt head measurements.
Could someone list or point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Have a couple that deal with bolt head dimensions.

All the old FAQ threads are now listed under Savage FAQ's on the homepage. Just click the Savage FAQ's button at the top of any page on the site.

Hey thanks MrFurious for the links...I did read these, but I could have sworn someone posted the caliber and then the bolt head measurements. Or was I just dreaming!?? :sleeping:

Thanks again for your help.

What specific measurements are you looking for? Recess depth is pretty standard at 0.115 to 0.120" Recess diameter varies by case head diameter, but typically they're running 0.010 to 0.015" over actual size, with some being as bad as 0.020" oversize (i.e for a 0.378" .223 case head most bolt heads will measure around 0.385 to 0.395").

That help any?
