Any of them running as superpigs? If so what you got them doing

None shorter than 20inch, that’s the way I roll, and probably reflects my hunting is more open country than bush bashing, the 20in is a 284 WbyMk5 weighs 5&1/2 lb bare rifle. The barrel length with suppressor is plenty short enough in the bush. Doing 2850 fps with 160TMKs.
Have another 284 built on Tikka 22 in bbl 1:8.5 twist does ~2950 with 160 TMKs or 162 AMAXs. Weighs in at 6lbs.
SAUM is 22 in, first load I worked up with 2217 was 2880 fps with 162 AMAX. Could get more speed but groups open up. In STUG stock also weighs in at 6lbs. Started playing some other powders recently to find more speed, looks promising for 2930 - 2980 fps.
280ai, 24in bbl 162 AMAXs doing 2950 - 2980 fps. Again 6lbs bare rifle.
REM Mag 24in bbl (I’ve owned several including 26 in bbl) they all seem to have accuracy speed node around 3030 - 3050 fps. Best with RL25 or 2225.
7mmBM 180 VLDs doing 3050 fps 26 in bbl.
Agree with others - chopping a magnum short is not getting optimum out of the cartridge. If you want short stick with 284 imo
