The best reference out there....
....for cast bullets in the 30-06 is the NRA's cast bullet handbook, which has several excellent chapters dedicated to cast bullets in .30 caliber service rifles, but that book can be a little hard to find. I like the RCBS 30-180-FN bullet (which runs about 190 grains) in .30-06. For 1 in 10" twist rifles, I generally shoot 35 grains of 4895 for about 1900 fps. For my 1 in 12" twist Husqvarna .30-06, I like to step it up to about 2100 fps.
