Cast bullets in 30-06
First off, make sure that you drill the flash holes larger or you'll quickly end up with headspace problems as the primer with the standard flash hole will shove the case forward and most cast bullet loads don't have enough pressure to seat the case back against the bolt face again.
I believe that probably the best mould there is for the 30-06 is the Lyman 311299. About 200 grains, bore riding nose, and good bearing surface.
