I dug around a bit, but I am coming up dry....
Is it just the neck angle that separates these 2 cartridges?

Email PT&G, and request a reamer print of each. That will show you the differences better than anyone on a forum can describe it.Yeah, I have a 6 comp match hammer..... I really wanted more info on the fundamental differences between the 2. Chad likes RL26 now, but I am still shooting H1000
The guys that started with the 6cm started with H1000 for the specific reason of extended barrel life. You can goto the accurate shooter forum and speak to Joel Hendricks about it. Or you could goto superior shooting solutions and ask why David Tubb loads his 6xc a smaller case with H1000. They both have more experience than I do with it. Mine revolves around the 243ai which as you stated has more capacity.Comp match you blow the shoulder forward into a 31deg shoulder, but the case taper of the 243 does not change. Yes you get slightly more capacity, but unless you choose the right powder, you'll never realize it.
An above poster talked about using H 1000, I myself think it would be rare either of these cases would yield a full burn from it, and if you are planning on running suppressed, it will compound things.
Between the 2, I think neck lengths are comparable, and I doubt any superior accuracy claims form either can be made, they both work. Creed is plug and play today, and in reality is a more efficient case design.
Now a 243 AI is a whole diff beast, blowing case and shoulder out, holds a substantial more amount of powder.
Right, I did not say it wont work, I said I doubt you can get a complete burn. I did not know Tubb posted his load data, last I heard it was H4831, but truthfully I don't care either way. I shoot 2 XC's, 110 Sierra, RL 16 powder, works on my end.The guys that started with the 6cm started with H1000 for the specific reason of extended barrel life.

The 6xc he sells is loaded with H1000Right, I did not say it wont work, I said I doubt you can get a complete burn. I did not know Tubb posted his load data, last I heard it was H4831, but truthfully I don't care either way. I shoot 2 XC's, 110 Sierra, RL 16 powder, works on my end.
I've had both comp match, 3 barrels, and 6 creed, the XC IMO does a comparable job, albeit at less speed for me.
You can theorize all you like but the fact of the matter is that Joe Hendricks and just about anyone who uses a 6 Comp Match loaded with H1000 gets insane velocities and (for a 6 mm cartridge) insanely long barrel life; on top of easily tuneable accuracy.Right, I did not say it wont work, I said I doubt you can get a complete burn.
On my last comp match barrel, I ran IMR 7977 and got 1200 rds shooting a 105 hybrid at 3100 fps. I remember in the 90's all the guys driving F 250's with a 460 in them getting 17mpg too.You can theorize all you like but the fact of the matter is that Joe Hendricks and just about anyone who uses a 6 Comp Match loaded with H1000 gets insane velocities and (for a 6 mm cartridge) insanely long barrel life; on top of easily tuneable accuracy.
In light of all that, the answer to the question of whether H1000 gets a complete burn or not is this: who f-ing cares.
I personally know a shooter who eeked out 4000 rounds from his 6 CM using H1000. Admittedly, he was chasing the lands heavily for the last 1000 rounds and list velocity to boot. So, not saying that it’s a 4000 round cartridge, just saying that H1000 works well for the 6 comp match.You can theorize all you like but the fact of the matter is that Joe Hendricks and just about anyone who uses a 6 Comp Match loaded with H1000 gets insane velocities and (for a 6 mm cartridge) insanely long barrel life; on top of easily tuneable accuracy.
