No it won't. It will just push the shell forward into the chamber but the extractor doesn't go over the rim of the cartridge there by preventing the bolt from closing. The extractor does move but it seems quite tight. I have the identical rifle in 222 and it feels a similiar tightness. The difference is with the 222 by the time the cartridge gets into the chamber, the rim has moved up in between the extractor and the bolt face. The 30-06 fails to move into that position.
