Anyone loading165 grain 9mm?

I just ordered some X-treme 165 grain bullets and I can't find much in the way of loads.  Wanted to try Longshot or Autocomp.  I have seen a few Titegroup loads but thought with case capacity and bullet weight a slow power would be interesting. If any one has tried some different powders I would be curious to find out how it went?

I've not used the X-treme 165 grain bullets but had good luck with the Ibejiheads 160 gr bullets over 3.0 grains of VV N320.

I use these at a local range on steel targets that does not allow jacketed bullets.  Plenty accurate out to 25 yards (furthest I've tried them) and have no problems taking down the steel.

Note that I load these long at 1.195" OAL.

I've used them and like them.  More spendy then 147's ore 124's but very nice to shoot.  I've used N350 and in general I like to use slower powders to avoid pressure spikes.  I'm not good enough to detect any big recoil difference between most powders so I opt for lower pressure.  3.7 gr of N350 gave me ~130PF out of a custom 9mm 1911 and an M&P Pro 9.
