Default Wire size for 40A welder

To connect a welder about 15 feet from breaker box. The welder says
primary amps 40. A wire chart on a website shows #6 as 37.5 amps.
Will #6 be close enough or should I use #4? I know the welder will
not be drawing full amperage most of the time, only on spikes.

Thanks
