Remington offers an "Accelerator" loading in .30-06. It features a saboted 55gr .223 JSP bullet at over 4,000fps. I should certainly think it would be very "explosive" on small game, but I might be a bit concerned with its accuracy as the twist rates of most .30-06 barrels are probably geared towards substantially heavier bullets.
