Training with Crossbows, Wooden/Bone Bolts more than preferred
Dwarves will automatically use only wooden or bone bolts, you needn't worry about metal bolts being wasted on practice.
Based on classic DF, bone or wooden bolts will indeed be used to fight if the dwarf doesn't have anything else though, and they sometimes would just coincidentally have a handful of "practice" bolts when they went out to battle thus having a useful backup. Especially nice when they're very highly skilled and 35-45 bolts isn't enough to last the duration of a fight!
Out of ammo
Is it worth noting (on this page) that dwarves will use the hammer skill to bludgeon with their crossbow if they run out of ammo? --Matryx 09:22, 5 November 2007 (EST)
