Ironman verdict
At least 7 monsters drop it. The easiest is Warped terrorbird (level 82, 10/128); the best rate is Iron dragon (level 98), at 19/128, about one per kill. You can also make it yourself: it takes 43 Fletching and gives 70 Fletching XP, using 10 × Adamant bolts (unf) and 10 × Feather. There are 2 other recipes below. Other sources include Gnome Restaurant, Giant Oyster, Security casket (CS Week) and Reward casket (medium), plus 3 more listed below. Making ten takes 100 × Adamant bolts (unf) and 100 × Feather and gives 700 Fletching XP. Reaching level 43 Fletching takes 50,339 XP in total; the Fletching calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Fletching guide has the Ironman training route. 2 recipes use Adamant bolts, including Diamond bolts and Ruby bolts. It is worn in the ammunition slot at tier 40 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Ammunition list. Adamant bolts is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 34 coins, which is 24 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
