300 wsm Sako 85

Sako Grey wolf 85 ...I wanted to get the AOL just off the lands at 2.93 (lands are 2.95) but you can't eject an unfired case because it hits the top of the chamber. The bullet AOL is just too long. Nosler reloading has the AOL at 2.860, factory federals are 2.83. This is just a hunting load Im trying to work up but I am sure running into a lot of quirky things. Between the tight chamber on this Sako, Lee dies cam over is really "over" to get the head space, Can't just be off the lands because of ejecting issue as stated. Whats next? Felling better just vented :) Anyone with a IMR 4064 favorite load for hunting?
 
I have 3 of these, Grey Wolf, Finnlight and Synthetic.

Best load is 180 Scirocco II, ahead of 7828Ssc, 68,5grs in Norma cases lit by CCI250's. Shoot less than 1" @300 in all my rifles
