  Alliantpowder.com has some data for 170 gr. bullets. I'd back off 10-15% and see how it works;certainly close enough for a safe trial.

  Actually I also found only 170 grain data but you could use it at full load for 165 gr bullet since the 170 is bigger & consumes more internal case space. The best looking loads I found were
  WSL 4.1 to 5.1 grains
  Unique 5.8 to 6.8 gr
  AA # 7 8.3 to 9.3 gr
  W 231 4.1 to 5.1 gr
  
  You could probably exceed the max loads listed above but once you choose a powder call that conpany & verify the load data to be absolutely safe. Good luck. rg

  7.3 gr as a starting load, with 9.0 gr as max! start low & work up.
