That's exactly what I do. If I like a club but not the shaft (or shafts) it comes with, I'll buy it in a steel-shafted version to save money. A hosel bore is a hosel bore and whatever that bore is (.335", .350", .370") just buy a shaft that fits whatever bore it is and you're on your way. I've even used shims from time to time to fit, say, a .335" shaft to a .370" bore. It has no effect on the shaft and works fine.
Just make sure you find out what the hosel bore is first so you'll know what shaft to order, or you can simply measure it yourself.
