the second part was addressed by juerg already.

please explain why it _should_ work?

for a metal you'd need (lots) of k-points (less with smearing),
fractional occupations, and a diagonalization and mixing scheme
that minimizes charge sloshing and (probably) a well tuned basis
set that is maximally diffuse without linear dependencies.

all of that is independent of using hybrid DFT, of course, and
means that even if you'd get a number out of your calculation
it would be a very expensive random number.

cheers,
