First off I should have mentioned many center fire cartridges 100 + years ago were ment to be reloaded with black powder. You could load lead in most modern cartridges if you used black powder or one of it's many modern substitutes but you will not get smokeless powder velocities. Using black powder you usually measure it by volume and not weight. That means you basically fill the case to the top and the bullet slightly compresses the powder upon seating. I know this can be done with the .44 mag and the 30-30 because my dad did it for years. I don't know about the 30-06 though. Trying something like this can be hazardous so if you have no experience in such thing you probably shouldn't try it without the assistance of some that has.
