Hey man, I was shooting 208 gr ELD M from Tikka, standard barrel. 2213 powder, Norma brass and mag length, was only doing 2770 FPS but was still punching through deer out at 600 metres. Have gone to shorter barrel with the ELD X 178 gr and reloder 17, shoots easy 1/3 - 1/4 inch at mag length, doing 2840 fps in 20" barrel. Try the Hornady book load, seems to work well in a lot of rifles.
