Prime your 2506 brass,
add 8 to 10 grains Unique.
No need for a bullet.
No need for a wad.
Level the powder !!!...........!
Chamber the primed, charged case into the 3006 chamber.
Pull trigger.
Ka boom !!!
What exits, will b e a fire formed 3006 case.
Hey Mike. Thanks for the appreciation it means a lot to an old DAT. The only brass I am really in need of is 7.62x54R. I save the change my wife has at the end of each week and use it to buy factory ammo like PPU and re-use the brass after firing. Factory is used for plinking and then I reload for accuracy etc.
I am also on the lookout for 7.62x39 when I can find it.

Thanks Mike, are you looking for anything?
BTW Mike, thanks to you for your service to us and our great nation. Some young people these days don't understand the satisfaction of serving.

Going from 25-06 to 30-06, I might be a little concerned about the case mouth being thin. One can always thin the mouth by reaming or neck turning, but making it thicker would be a little more difficult. I also have some .270 that I will be making into 280 Remington before long. Up or down, doesn't seem to make much difference, but to go that much bigger may cause the neck to be thinner than would be ideal. Just my 2 cents worth.
I stumbled across a pdf file a while back entitled 'Case Reforming'. Really interesting read. 25-06 to 30-06 is about .051 expansion. I am like Texas by God - I have expanded 7mm to 358 caliber. Why? Cuz I had a boat load of 7MM brass given to me, and no other real use for it. Think I have shot my 7 about 4 times in the last 6 years.
Don't want no one to git hurt, but if you're gonna have a wreck, I wanna watch.
7mm TC/U case forming is similar only more percentage of expansion and case neck thinning doesn't seem to be an issue; Might be more pressure in j-word 30-06 loads but I'd doubt too many here push boolits all that hot? Could well be wrong tho, and PP or PC shooters might do hottish loads.
