Have not tried out that combo.... however handloaded 180 gr. Accubonds are shooting 3/4 MOA at 400 yards out of my brothers BAR... 
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

I shot them out of my 300WM behind 73 grns of H4831 and they were outstanding.   Lotsa groups in the .1's and .2's at 100.   Some sub 2" groups at 600, a 4.5" group at 1090.

 I shot the 168's VLD and at 437 yds they're burning through a 5/16" steel gong. Good grouping at that range. I've got 3 elk and 1 mule deer (592 yds), all 1 shot apiece. I love them in my Tika 300 WSM!

I shoot the 185 VLDs out of my 300 WSM.. Its a Weatherby Vanguard (Howa) Sub MOA rifle.. I use Norma Brass, H4831 and get great results to about 2800 FPS.

Huntbear, I'm using the Hunting Shack ammo with the Berger VLD's that I buy from the Long Range store on the internet. They have been good to me for the past few years. I used to use the Winchester XP3's but the VLD's are about $10 cheaper and shoot better groups out of my gun.
