Ask Rambo.

EDIT: Oh wait, you probably mean bolt as in fastener, not bolt as in crossbow ammunition.

Typically for separating rocket stages and other such hardware. That's the context I know about them in at least.

wtf do you need an explosive bolt for??!

I could understand a sheer bolt (one designed to snap under a certain amount of sheer forces, resulting in destruction of the bolt, rather than more expensive parts...

Google the internet and learn how to make your own. Buy a thick bolt and hollow it out, stuff it with some home made explosives, add a blasting cap, and voila! Explosive bolt.

Swing by Iraq, I'm sure they have some.
Those Wacki Iraqis are the most explosive making sonsabitches on the planet.

Bombardier: Roger. Ah... still negative function. The teleflex drive cable must be sheared away.

Kong: Fire the explosive bolts!
