My 6x55BR uses the 6.5x55 as the parent case and has no issues with a .473 bolt face. I use only Lapua brass, and have not modified the brass or the bolt head in any way. I can feed it from the magazine, slide it down the tube by hand, or just lay it on top of the mag and close the bolt. It could be that the Savage bolt face has a little more clearance than the Remington.
