6.5x55 bolt with .473 cartridges?

If I get a sig SHR970 in 6.5x55 could I swap to .473 cartridge head size barrels later without getting a new bolt, or is a 6.5x55 bolt enough larger that it won't work? The difference in head sizes is pretty small.

Swedes have been rebareled to .473 for years.

Nominally .008 lager diameter for Swede....... not enough to sweat over.
