For my 7 iron, I usually get 140-150? The funny thing is.. I hit my 6 iron last week about 180 but it was a realllllllllly solid hit and straight...it felt damn good :P but I WASN'T able to do that ever since LOL..
My goal right now is to just get it straight with a slower swing as SATURN2NR suggested. I enjoy the challenge of this game that's for sure.
Another thing i'm focusing on is my posture.. being a taller dude...i tend to stand up during my downswing.. i usually top the ball if i mishit

Your distance sounds okay then, as a new player. IF you could hit 180 with 6iron meant you did something really right so, hopefully next time you do it again, you will know what you did right! its really important. Those things will work on any clubs, including driver.
If you start losing, or cant gain distance on iron, make sure have someone with good eyes, golf mechanic wise, look at you, if you are scooping and add loft. It is almost impossible to notice and it felt good and solid but the ball goes nowhere and you cant gain distance.
Im tall as well and I tend to top as well. The old saying is, try not to look where the ball flying before impact, it really would stands yourself up and top the ball. BUt even i keep looking at the ground I still top it, but I figured out because my weight wasnt shifting to the target as you downswing, causing your weight hang back the the right leg (if you are RH), but the club still travelling, with its club head leading edge comes up and blade the ball.
I try to image all these causes after a good shot or bad shot, it will make you better way faster, usually you will not do that bad cause again in the next shot.
U sounds okay overall, have fun!
