Common Bolt faces

[meles meles]

Does that mean that any of the cartridges listed above can be used in conjunction with a suitably adapted .308 bolt ?

Yes - the 'adaption' usually being screwing the action into a suitably chambered barrel.


6XC would be another one for the .308 face shortlist.

I could have sworn my rosbif plummer clamps the barrel and then screws-in the action...do you screw differently in froggyland <g>?

Rox,

Perhaps you should have said onto instead of into?

The oversees (spelling intended) gentleman might not have chastised in his confusion?

Quite so, and I imagine that in the land of amour 'screwing-in' relates more closely to how the male and female parts interface, rather than just closing a thread with nothing stiffer than an upper lip.

So, with a suitable action and bolt(s), one could have a rifle with interchangeable barrels and shoot therefrom a wide variety of bullets ?

[dromia]

You don't need interchangeable barrels to shoot a wide variety of bullets, most calibres have a pretty good selection of types nowadays.

The variety in width I was thinking of was something along the lines of having a single action and receiver along with appropriate bolts to shoot everything from say, .45 ACP to 6.5mm. I doubt all those would go through the same barrel with a reasonable degree of performance and safety.
