Sounds like the perfect solution!  ;-)

Good points.  Just as an FYI, they do make special ammo just for 
an "original" (or partly original such as one from the CMP), which 
is slightly less "hot" than current commercial .30-06 ammo.  I 
don't think there are any safety issues with an older one if you 
are careful to use that type of ammo.
