Considering the fact that 6mm-PPC is virtually impossible to find, do you think that a tuned .223 would shoot accurately enough to satisfy a "paper puncher" who never engages in competitive shooting~? Brass would be prepped with the same care and attention as was always given the 6.

The vast majority of ppc shooters use readily available 220 Russian Lapua brass to form their 6PPC cases. If you’re already willing to do the brass prep, it’s not rocket science, and the rewards are great. Are you thinking of having a custom rifle built for one or the other, or finding a factory rifle?

Your on the right track, my favorite varmint gun is a custom sako L-461 in the 6mm/223 (6x45) and its done 100% on deer and antelope within 200 yards..
