Some folks have worked up very mild cast bullet .30'06 loads for these, but that's about as far as it's possible to go safely. And you have to really know what you're doing.

Yes, there have been cases of Mosin Nagant rifles re-chambered to .30-06 blowing up and seriously injuring and killing their shooters. Read about them blowing up in some shooting magazines from the 20s and 30s. De Hass talked about it in one of his books.
Some of those guns had a .30-06 reamer ran into the chamber without setting back the barrels. This makes for a very dangerous situation because the Russian cartridge is larger in diameter at the base.

you can buy the 32acp adapters for a 30-06 from numrich for about 15 bucks if your not a handloader.
this would allow you to do some plinking with your 30-06 mosin without any chance of blowing it up.
as a plus if your a handloader you can load 1/2 grain of bullseye behind a 30cal lead ball in the 32acp case then put it in the adaptor for a cat sneeze round.
