No doubt the 30-06 isn't loaded to as high a pressure as modern bolt actions can handle.
There's still a lot of M-1 Garands out there, though- and they were designed to work with 30-06 ammo loaded to 45,000 C.U.P.
And a few 1895 Winchesters are still floating around, too. And low number Springfields. Not to mention tons of Springfields sporterized by who knows who.
So, I can see why the factories load the 30-6 to the lower pressures that they do.
