We recently tested a couple of Turbo bolt conversion kits on 2 different rifles, and we sent the data to Larry "Landy" Landercasper to evaluate the numbers. Landy is exceptionally good with statistics and analysis. He created a blog to show all of the testing and his analysis.
All of the testing was done by myself and the owner of the two rifles at the Killough Shooting Sports 'Proving Grounds' which is a 20'x20' room on the end of an eight foot wide and eight foot tall hallway that is 50 meters long. It is completely enclosed and provides a great environment for testing. All of the testing was done at 50 yards.
When testing the 6 o'clock conversion kit vs. the standard Turbo bolt you have a few differences other than the obvious firing pin location. The conversion has a slightly larger diameter bolt body and gives a slightly different headspace. Unfortunately I failed to measure the diameter of the bolt body, but you can tell with the naked eye that it is a slightly different size. This might help or it might not, I am not sure. The firing pins are also shaped differently with the 6 o'clock pin leaving a much larger foot print. Again, this might help or it might not, I am not sure.
