The following G.Skill RipJaws V 2x8GB 2800MHz models have been tested by MSI to work on the B250M PRO-VD mobo:

F4-2800C15D-16GVR (https://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-2800c15d-16gvr)
F4-2800C15D-16GVRB (https://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-2800c15d-16gvrb)

Source MSI B250M PRO-VD Memory QVL: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B250M-PRO-VD#support-mem-4

And, as you mentioned, yes, it will downclock to 2400MHz max.

It was released way back during the 6th-gen Skylake and X99 mobos, hence, the "Z170", "X99" tag on the box. MSI has tested those RAM to work on that 7th-gen Kaby Lake mobo, so, no worries.

Btw, you linked the dual-channel 2x4GB RAM (8GB) not the 2x8GB kit (16GB) you were asking.
