I think all too often when speaking of cartridges and handloads, rifle loonies fail to ask the question why? Exactly what will a .30-06 do for you at 3000fps that it won�t do for you at 2800? If all you�re doing is target shooting, it may give you a slight edge on the range, but if this is for hunting, there is no edge.
.30-06/3000fps, won�t let you shoot farther, nor will it suddenly put you into another class of cartridge that allows you to kill something better or bigger. Personally, in the hunting fields, I don�t see enough difference between the .30-06 and the .300 Win Mag to justify the extra blast and recoil. Again, it won�t let me kill bigger game, and I�m still not going to take a shot much beyond 300 yards (but others might).
