If their is no casing ejected then it is not a bolt action? if their is a bolt then it is a bolt action if their is no bolt then it is not a bolt action, it is that simple, their are many versions of single shot which are not bolt action. A bolt action is used to insert a round into a manual breach, the bolt is retracted to insert each new round, if their is a casing (which is the norm) the casing is either ejected when the bolt is withdrawn or the caseing is removed manually by the shooter! if their is no casing the bolt would be withdrawn and be free for a new round. if the casing is ejected automatically upon firing then it is a hybrid auto like the winchester model 55 single shot
