What's your intended use?
I've got 3 currently, had them since about 2000-2001.
You don't want to shoot strings with them or your barrel will be toast real quick.
I had 2 of mine built for coyote (stands) and 1 for walking coyote.
Stand guns were Rem 700 SAs with sleds (SS) tracker ST1000L stocks and Bill Shehane bbl blocks, 29.5" Hart bbls.
The walker was on a Rem mdl 7 with 20" bbl. I don't recommend the short barrel version way too inefficient.
All were 12 twists and barreled by Hart.
H 1000 is the speed king with either 87 V max or 88 Bergers. Accuracy is pretty close between the 2 of them.
I'd concentrate on your cold bore zeros and get that first shot on your critter.
6.5 284 Lapua reformed is what I use and in the high node 3820-3845 they'll last 4-5 firings.

Mine is a 30" Brux 1-8" for F Class back in 2010
Found H4350 and with 105 Hybids to run 3260
With RL -25 and and 105s got 3393
Rl-25 and 115s at 3296
Also Retumbo with 115s @ 2912.
All those went under 1/2 MOA to about 800 yards then went wild at 1K.
Next barrel I had nitrided - didn't shoot.

I wouldn't say hot rods are practical. But they're fun! 6x284 will push 55gr ballistic tips 4300+ with imr4350 or n555

I'm 100% with posts #2 and #6 above. I've owned 2 of them. Very accurate varmint caliber! But keep your shot strings short. CJ6 is just about right coldbore and second shot are the most important and will keep your barrel more of a long time friend. Use a 26" or longer barrel.
My 2 longest shots on coyotes were made with the last 6-284 I owned. And with a 10-12tw barrel with 75gr Vmax or 80gr Blitz Sierra they are NOT a fur friendly choice on coyotes, but easy to find.JME. WD
