I need some technical help from someone who might have already tried/done this particular bolt head swap.

Can I replace a bolt head/face (.473") (25-06, 270, 30-06) with a .223 bolt head (.378") on a long action Savage bolt? Can it safely be used in a Savage 111 action, center feed with a properly headspaced .223/.204 barrel? I would use with a single shot follower, so magazine function is not a concern. Thanks for any guidance.
