Why not just go to the horse's mouth ?
Google "vihtavuori edition 10 reloading guide" and all will be revealed.
Assuming you haven't done the obvious already ?
I suspect they know their own powders rather better than any particular individual user.
And of all calibres, you might expect their data on 6.5x55 to be comprehensive.
does anyone have any part tubs of vihtavuori n160 and n560 I could buy to try to find what my 6.5x55 like best?

Not of a good idea!
