Did the 405 winchester in the 1895 use a different bolt that say the standard 30 Army bolt that was currently in production?

I think the 40-72 and the 40-82 use the same bolt as a 405. and the head space needs checked before shooting

The 40-82 WCF was a Model 1886 (and Single Shot) cartridge, and it has a larger rim diameter than that of the 40-72 WCF. They cannot share the same bolt.
