My Hornady book does not list a 165 gr bullet. Can somebody give me a good mid level load using 165gr Jacketed bullet?

using a Common powder. Unique preferably

6.7 grs Unique = 1,075 fps. 170 gr. XTP, C.O.L. = 1.124" 33,800PSI. Hodgdon manual # 27.

I use a Montana Gold 155 gr bullet on top of 5.1 gr of Unique or 4.9 gr of WW231 @ about 900 ft/sec. A very soft shooting load in all of my Glocks with excellent accuracy @ 25 yards. Back off a bit and give those loads a try.
