As far as I know the bolt head is the only difference. I just completed a 300wm mag build using a standard 30-06 action. I bought a complete magnum bolt from midway. The rifle works great and I still have the non magnum bolt if I ever change my mind and want to go back.
That's what I thought. Getting a magnum bolt is certainly one option but it seems silly to get a completely new bolt assembly when swapping bolt heads is a fraction of the cost and takes all of 2 minutes.
