Use 6/3 w GR,when installing new stove, that is,it has four wires, 2-120v hot legs,one neutral, one ground. New codes in certain places require neutral and ground.

Its just a safer set up. Most old installations are only three wires.

Remember you also need the 4 prong appliance plug and outlet.

A 6-gauge wire should be used for a 50A 250V outlet for a range. This wire size is recommended to safely handle the current load required by the range while minimizing the risk of overheating or electrical issues. Be sure to follow local electrical codes and consult a professional if you are unsure.
