Default Diametre of crossbow bolts?

Sorry I've loooked everywhere for this answer but have found little bit tables of strange code. I heard they were thicker then arrows, but then that may be an optical illusion with them being shorter.

What is the nominal diametre of a crossbow bolt (both ID & OD?) What wall thickness is carbon fibre bolts? Yeh it might vary by manufacturer but the measurements of the popular name brand would be a big help.

I have 8mm ID CF tube and am wondering if nocks and broadhead adaptors can be bought to fit.

Thanks fellas, so around .3", .30 cal makes it 7.62mm (crazy americans and your inches and fractions). So mines a bit large but I'm sure can be made to fit.
