That is a characteristic of split phase 120/240 vac power.
The ground can be smaller but I don’t remember the rule for sizing it.
6 ga is small for that distance. You could have a drop of over 5 volts at 25 amps or over 10 volts at 50 amps according to one voltage drop calculator I looked at.

Thanks for the response! I should have clarified that my run got a lot shorter and is now under 100'.
