    165's with 39 grains of AR2219 (if you can find any) for 2400 fps. Bench Mark 2 is very similar in burning rate. 2213SC is safe to use up to 48 grains but will be about 250 fps slower.

    Gunworks seem to have 2219 in stock and I do have BM2 on hand

    My quick google search earlier this morning had identified that 2219 was the sweet spot for the 165 grainers
