Has any one ever tried the 180 gr Berger elite hunting bullet in a 6x5x47

Does Berger even make a 180gr 6.5 bullet?

I use the standard 140gr and 130gr Hunting VLD's with great success. I have found the Berger Hunting VLD's in both 6mm and 6.5mm to be 50% more accurate than their target or hybrid bullets. I have switched from 140gr to 130gr because the BC difference is negligible and the 130gr can be driven significantly faster, partly due to the significantly shorter bearing surface on the 130gr.
This confirms Berger's own findings. I can see no reason to sacrifice a significant amount of BC to go with the Elite Hunter unless your shooting is limited to about 200 yards or less.
