I have none, although know one friend that did not like the results of VLD's on deer from a 6.5-06. Poor penetration and horrendous bloodshot damage from his experience.

My 110BA in 300winMag likes the 168Berger VLds. I used Reloader 22.
I dont remember the charge (I would have to check my records when I get home).
They were fast for sure, but my rifle preferred the 210 Berger VLD.

I shoot my 210's with 70.5gr. R22.
Ave velocity is 2933fps.
26"barrel.

This load has got me sub MOA groups to 1760 yards, and MOA or a little more out to 2000.

The 168's would tend to be hard on meat if you are hunting at Closer ranges. I havent seen any bad damage from my 210's yet.
