Slowpoke Slimmarkkur,
The Nosler manual doesn't list N160 for the 180 grain bullet. They DO list N150, however. They also note it as "Most Accurate Powder Tested" for that bullet.
Start: 63.0 grains 3002 fps
Max: 67.0 grains 3149 fps
They don't list N160 until you get to the 200 grain bullets.

ramrod340Loadtech gives 71.7 to 75.5. Which would just about a gr or so heavier than the loads listed by Nosler for the 200. The program stops at the maximum not for pressure but because the system will not load higher than 105% capacity.
