Can a BA action bolt head which is .550 thick fit a regular 110 bolt, and if not can it be machined to fit.

Deano....
What in the world kinda cartridge are you coming up with now? 17-338 Lapua and maybe 4 billion fps? Lol....I dont have an answer but I couldn't resist.... ..

No just some extra insurance, for those shooting large calibers out of a small shank action.
Dean
Oh ok....surely you can see where I came up with my idea 😉
Scooter
I will be pleading the fifth on that one.
Dean
17x338 lapua would probably require a 1 in 60 twist barrel or more if it was even feasible. Barrell might last through load development. But I like joking on Dean as well lol.
Yes, the 9/16ths bolt head can be used . The barrel will screw in to the action less obviously.
If anyone knows where to get one let me know, I want to buy one so I can see what's involved.
Dean
How much less, two or three threads maybe.Quote:

You could have PTG do a custom bolt head for you if what you're looking for isn't available.
Roughly 2.5 turns/threads.Quote:

You will still need the longer firing pin.
