110 grain Accubond over Retumbo. Don’t recall charge weight, but it is FULL and compressed a little.
Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.

I had good results with Sierra 100 SPBT's or 100 Ballistic Tips and 53grs of either H4350 or IMR 4831 and CCI 200's.

We have been using RL-19 after testing several rifles and it does good with bullets up to 100 grains,because as
far as i know we have not shot anything heavier.

Up to & including 115 gr, RL-19
115, & up RL-22.
As much as you dare load in either case.
Or if you want to step into the newer version powders, RL-16, 23 or 26...................but '19 & '22 do equally as well & I've used both for a veery long time.
The temp sensitivity has never been an issue for me.

Mine likes the Speer 87 HPFB with enough RL19 to get 3550ps from a 26" bbl. & the discontinued Sierra 100 spitzer FB with H4831 to get 3300fps.
Still fiddling with 115 Ball. Tips, but 7828, 4831SC, RL22 & 23 all show promise. RL26 is the speed champ but have to get groups a bit smaller... seating depth will help, I hope. Got some Bergers to try too.

With the Ballistic Tips, 52.5 of RL22 gave me 3110fps & best groups repeatedly. The 4831SC shot best around 3050fps, but all the other mentioned powders (except RL26) ended up with the best load at between 3100 & 3170fp. I can hang mine out to 3.320" where they've been happiest so far. RL26 has been a bit different... haven't found pressure yet but think it's getting close. Been to 3325fps still with normal bolt lift, but haven't finalized anything with under 1 1/4" groups yet. Not sure I want to burn much more of my 26 for experiments until I find out if N565 is a good substitute.

I'm trying to get mine to shoot 117 gr Interlocks, but the best group I've got so far is 1.25" or so. Called Hornady and talked to a tech and he suggested trying IMR 4831.

Have you experimented with seating depth/overall length? This may give you a basic idea of what's needed. VLDs are not alone in having preferred "jump" distances. https://bergerbullets.com/vld-making-shoot/

Both powders ran the requisite 3,300 with both bullets and didn't require poa adjustments to center. I think the loads came from the Nosler #4.

I’ve used IMR 4831 (52.0 grains I think) with 117 Interlock, typically shot just under 1” at ~3100 fps. 56.0 grains under the 100 grain ProHunter produced a lot of 1/2” groups at ~3350 fps.
