New to the forum so sorry for whatever. 300WSM Stiller predator action, 26" lilja 3 groove barrel, using federal brass, 180gr accubond @ .08 from lands, loading with 68gr of reloader 19, 3020fps, also this was once shot brass. Shoots great but the brass is flowing into the ejection port at base of shell. I have also tried 165 gr, once I hit 3200fps I have the same problem. I've dumbed it down and using Winchester brass now. Im in need of reloading again and would like to get a 180 to 3000. Any thoughts on brass or other things I'm doing wrong. Would appreciate your thoughts.

Dumbed it down? Like just backed off the powder? Sounds like the solution, if so. You might need tougher brass if you want to push it. Brass flowing is sure sign of over pressure. Can I ask what's the difference between 3000 and ~2950?

First, welcome to the forum.
Second: All guns are different. I’ll add to Adam’s comment about over pressure. You’re pushing into a dangerous area. You should back off your load. What you would “like” doesn’t matter. What is safe in your particular gun does. Loading manuals are a guide, but some guns won’t shoot their max loads safely.
