6-250

I shot 6/250 years ago but mine was a 40 degree Ackley shoulder. I shot 70-95 grain bullets out of 10 twist. With a 12 twist you are limited to what you're shooting now. A flat base 80 grain will work too, but forget a boat tail. I still shoot a 6X47 Remington nowadays for prairie dogs, That 6/250 is far superior to a 6BR. Pretty much a 6 Creed. I shoot the Nosler 70 grain ballistic tip in my 6X47 and it shoots .250" groups. What kind of groups you looking for?
I shoot a 6-250 for varmints, shooting Sierra's 60 gr. Hollow Point in a Lilja 3-groove 13 twist barrel.
Barrel is 27" in length and a 1.300" straight tube.
Federal Gold Medal Match primers.
4 different powders shoot groups of .200 or less at 200 yards. Powder choice is pretty much determined by the outside temperature.
Barrel has zero free bore and bullets are seated .009 into the rifling.

My 6-250, 1:12 twist shoots great with 80gr Sierra blitz and 85gr Sierra HP game kings. For the light stuff 55gr Nosler btips, I shot a bunch of 75gr vmax. I mostly used H335 with CCI large rifle primers. I have some 65gr vmax but I haven't tried them.

P.S. the 6 creed is nothing more than a 6-250 imp with a fast twist barrel. all the creed stuff is from the 300 sav/250sav family (imp with fast twist barrels)
