I have a full sized Springfield XDM 45 with a Meprolight and laser grips. I also have a Hi Point 45 for testing my reloads.

My rifle is an AR15 5.56 I built with a poly lower and 1:14 twist 16 inch barrel. Lots of fun with the heavier bullets, but accuracy is horrific. The bung holes I created in hams were epic, though.

Shotgun is a double barrel 12 gauge coach gun side by side. I can reload the damn thing almost as fast as a novice can rack a pump gun. Almost broke my damn shoulder firing two 3 inch magnum slugs at the same time.

I dont have a big gun collection, however, what I have I can run with precision.

Not the gun expert but doesn't a 1:14 twist good for 40 to 55 grain bullets but suffers accuracy with heavy bullets? Isn't that why most went to a 1:9 twist to stabilize heavier bullets?  

I know one thing for a fact. Beware of the guy that has few or one firearm.  Good chance he knows how to use them.
