S.Man, I believe the Wayne van Zwoll article your talking about is from the June 1998 article "Hawk Cartridges" in Handloader magazine. One of the rounds based on the 30-06 is the .411 Hawk with a .400" bore and groove cut to .410". You can go to http://www.z-hat.com for a bunch of test data where a top load using a 400gr round nose is pushed to 2159fps with 57grs of RL 15. I remember them saying that Mauser or controlled round action is best for this cartridge and I picked up a used Ruger m77 mkII in 30-06 but thats as far as I got until the money situation picks up. Whats also interesting is that they say to compare the ballistics with the 404 Jeffery, that in its original load with 60grs of cordite pushed a 400gr bullet at 2125fps
for just over 4000fpe.
