Yes, it will work for that, although velocity will be significantly below 2,000 fps. A 30-06 and a 200 gr cast boolit will barely reach 2,000 fps with a compressed case of WC872. 160 grains is a bit light for such a slow burning powder, but you'll never have to worry about a double charge, and I don't think gas checking would be necessary, but always best to check how your barrel works.
