The 30/06 improved is a good conversation cartridge anyway. You can put about three more grains of slow burning powder in it and gain a little velocity.

I have done it, not just read about it in a book.

But, in the end there is not much to be gained except having something different. Standard 30/06 is fine and if you want more velocity you can buy a magnum.
