Default 20 Cal VLD bullets 40 or 45 grain

Is anyone making a 20 cal VLD bullet in 40 or 45 grain weight?

I had an old bench rest rifle 40x with PPC bolt face fitted with an 8 twist Lilja barrel chambered to 20 PPC. tried 55 Bergers and got very very small groups.
bad part velocity was only 3209 its, not going to get the job done. most I could go is a bit over 3300 before running into pressure signs.

shoots the 40 Nossler BT into small groups at about 3750. rifle did not like the 39 Sierra BlitzKings.

but would like to try 40 or 45 gr VLDs for longer range targets.

How far do you want to shoot? I have a 20 Practical that shoots the 40 BIBs accurately (minute of clay bird) out to 500 meters. I have tried every 20 caliber bullet in two 20 practicals and they are the most accurate.
