Anyone used a barrel meant for smokeless powder as a muzzleloader barrel?

Hi, so I haven't been on Reddit in a while. It got a bit too nazi-ish. Anyway, I have a barrel for a Remington 783 .30-06, and I've never made a gun with something that high-power before, so I was going to machine a breech plug and make it into a high-power black powder rifle, because I figure a slow-burning charge means I have more of a chance of keeping all my fingers. Plus, black powder rifles are just so much cooler in some regards, and using something meant for extremely high-power like .30-06 means I have a lot of leeway for my charge. Had anyone done something like this? I have it all planned out, just wondering how weird of a project it is. Deer season is fast approaching so I need to get working on it.
