Default Hornady Light Mags??? Any users?

While I've pretty much narrowed down my decision on which caliber my next hunting rifle will be (either .30-06 or 7mm. Rem. Mag)
I thought I would see how many folks have used the Hornady Light Mag rounds for hunting.
Just looking at the .30-06, the Light Mag ballistics look like their getting pretty close to the .300 Win. Mag.
All of them are pretty impressive. The .270 Win gets pretty close to the .270 Win. Short Mag, ect.
How does Hornady get so much of a gain in velocity with these loads and do it SAFELY? It almost looks like you could turn the all around .30-06 into an even more versitle round.
Also, is there a way to handload rounds up to the specs of the Light Mags in a SAFE way without blowing yourself to pieces?
Any feedback would be appreciated
