What 6.5 are you loading for? might help.
Have you contacted Vern as he is super helpful and might be your best bet.

I'd have thought N560 would be too slow with a 101 grain bullet.

Generally n560 is for heavy bullets in 6.5 creedmoor and 6.5x55, N555 being better and for light bullets something like n150 and there is some load data for n140 even

Not exactly the same recipe, but I'm using N540 with 100gr Barnes TTSX in my 260 Rem and will someday soon try this combination in 6.5 Creedmoor.

Why the 101's ? the 110's are so accurate and you can swap without any difference in load data from the Merlin - Eagle or the target 110 and easily obtain close to 3000fps from a 22" barrel safely.

I have a few loads done with n560,
Would be too handy to only have the one powder for all

N160 just works, plus there is a proof house load so all good and safe, converse with Vern and I am sure he will give you all the data you need.

I use n160 in the creed but have better results with N140
I’m on 42g n140 with 102g Yewtree
I struggled to get consistent results with the vertus
