It works well with 140-150gr bullets in my 280 Remington. I’ve also tried it in my 6.5x55 with 139 gr bullets but found that the cases we covered in soot due to low pressure.
You should use MAGNUM primers with that powder.
I used a non cannister grade of N160 for everything from the 6.5x55 up to the 338-06.
It's a fairly slow powder that can give very consistent results when loaded close to maximum pressures.
It's also in its element with heavy for length bullets, such as the 140 grn 6.5 in the X55 cartridge.
My accuracy load was 44.0 grains over CCI 250 magnum primers, seated out as far as the magazine would allow. Appx 2500fps
It's just slightly faster than 4350 but not as fas as W760.
This load was safe in my M38 Swede Mauser. Might be to hot or light for your rifle, depending on the make/model

I’m in the same boat with N170 vs V570. If my aunt had balls, she would be my uncle.
