I have a Sako varmint in 6PPC. It is very accurate and easy to load for but brass is expensive. I shot one coyote with it using 70 grain Nosler BT's at 257 yards according to the range finder. My only complaint with the caliber is that it is not as flat shooting as a 22-250, 243 or even the 22PPC.
I agree.
The 6ppc is damn accurate, but as a long range preformer on critters, it gives up velocity and energy downrange. If you are keeping your shots fairly close-(200-300 yards), The PPC would work great.
The 6PPC was built for one purpose, and that purpose is short range benchrest. Having said that-I personally would have no problem using it for varmints. The recoil is minimal too, which makes another case for using it as a shooting application for small varmints like PDs...
