If you can't find a bug holing recipe from those ingredients then a recipe don't exist! I'd be more excited if you listed a Hammer bullet.
 
This is from the Hornady calculator for the CX bullet and Superformance powder:

Those 165 cx are not easy to find!, I'm waiting to get some to work up a load in my .300 RSAUM for hunting.

I did a quick search and found 5 of our acceptable suppliers having them in stock. You need to use a good search and be prepared to order them online. Local LGS may not stock these unless they see a larger demand.;)

I did test some Cutting Edge with AR-Comp, IMR-3031 and VVN-530 work just as well as Hornady's advertising.

Enjoy the search!

:)
 
No searching here 165 CX I have one box on my bench now to reload.
In my 308 Win
I expect a load around 44.0 of Varget but I noticed that’s a max in the Hornady Manual . I have always used 45.0 with 165/168/175. Hmmm!
