Is it possible to load a .300 win mag to 30-06 pressures for less kick when range is not issue
300-06

Starting loads of 4350 should calm it down enough too suit you. The difference in recoil between that and heavy loads of slower burning charges of H1000 and the like are day and night.
You could also drop down a bullet weight two. Even full charges are tame under 150 grain bullets.

Yes, it is very possible. The velocity of most starting loads for the 300 are close to maximum 30-06 performance
If you want even lower velocity look at some cast bullet loads which duplicate 30-30 performance.

If there is h4895 load data around you could always do the max charge and multiply it by .6 to get the new reduced load

One of my pet "low recoil" loads in the 300 Win Mag and the 308 Norma mag over the years has been
50.0 grains of IMR 3031 under a 180 grain bullet. Mild mannered and accurate, it graphs just under 2700
in my present 300, and is very accurate. May need a sight adjustment, however.

Lower weight charges of slightly faster burning powders are the general method. It's what I do with my .375 H&H for moderate loads that kill well but don't kick too hard.
