Recommended Powder...

I know this is a question that probably has no exact answer, but is there a powder that might be a good starter for a 150-165 grain bullet?...

Slow burners such as the 4350's or mid-range burners?...

Thanks...BCB

IMR-3031 and IMR-4895 give good results with 150 to 180 grain jacketed projectiles.

Back when I was loading 165s for my Krags, I used 4064 with great results.  4064 is a pretty universal powder!  4895 and 3031 are pretty good too as Chuck stated.
