Has anyone ever worked up loads with these for the .30-06?

http://www.midwayusa.com/product/16...-winchester-308-diameter-170-grain-soft-point

My BIL sent me about 400 of them, and I want to work up some break-in rounds for my new CZ 550 American. I just want to get some bullets through it before I start on my accuracy/hunting loads. I know they are usually intended for the .30-30, but I thought I might give them a chance. I am not planning on any barrel burners, I realize that the -06 can and will send them downrange much faster than the .30-30. I can't find any load data on them for the -06. Maybe use 165 Gr data and lighten up? Thanks!

I would be up for that. I have a load with the Barnes TTSX planned for it, maybe if someone had some 168 Grainers, I would be up for a trade. Maybe I will post something up in the EE as well.
