N555 seems to be a new product from VihtaVuori. It is touted as...

Vihtavuori’s new N555 smokeless rifle powder is designed for precision rifle platforms chambered in cartridges such as 6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor, .284 Winchester, .260 Remington and 30-06 Springfield and for rifle calibers with large case volume and comparatively small bullet diameters, among others.

A search here reveals zero posts about this powder. Has anybody tried it ?

I have not I prefer the cooler burning single base only N-140, N-150, N-160 etc. N-550 does give more performance, since it is double base with some nitro content.

N-140 & N-150 did well in 6 Dasher, N-160 did well in 6 Creed. I never finalized any of these, but they were shooting very well.

I see no reason you could not work up a good load with it. Advertising is advertising, and everything is good for the hot calibers these days. :)
