Would this provide comparable performance (or at least a somewhat close approximation) as a .243 factory load option?


No. The Tipped Gameking/Gamechanger is a relatively thick jacketed, and deep penetrating projectile. There is a lot of information in this thread.

Quick question not sure if I should start a new thread but it is 6 creed related. I recently purchased a savage small shank 6 creed barrel that I need to put on an action. I have a .243 that I really like that I was going to use but I don’t know if I want to mess with that gun. A friend of mine has a 30-06 that I could get cheap but is there any hope of getting a 6 creed to reliably feed out of a long action with a factory mag

Metal mag feed lips can help get it to feed. I have a howage setup with a 6.5CM that was a 30-06 in a previous life, MDT metal 5 round mag solved my issue, took a while to get the feed lips to push the case up without scratching the brass too bad.
