I wouldn't go lower than what load data from the manufacturers suggest. Looking at Hodgdon and Nosler's websites you are not going to be able to get any bullet slow enough to match even the hottest load in a 30-06.
I have some old Speer books that used to list mild loads with a powder that is no longer produced. Perhaps you can call Hodgdon or Nosler and ask if it is possible.

Trailboss, it'll be you're most likely chance at slower than normal velocities safely.

I remember when the 300 rum first came out-- remington had 3 power levels of ammo-- level one was suposed to be similar to 30-06, level 2 was 300wm, and level 3 was "full strength" 300 rum
someone has got to have load data for those 3 different levels
here is a sample of the factory ammo before it was discontinued

How about this? Haven't checked yet to see how full that will be in case.
BULLET WEIGHT 165 GR. SFT SP,
Powder IMR 4831
C.O.L.3.530"
Starting Load - 80.0g Velocity (ft/s) 2,951 ?
Pressure 51,100 PSI
Maximum Load- 87.0g Velocity (ft/s) 3,215 ?
Pressure 62,900 PSI
In the "old days" ... now I'm dating myself... fillers were used to keep powder against primer flash to better control inconsistency. Cream of wheat? Kapoc- don't have any of that anymore. Any input on this?
