I love the xps. I'm not sure how to take this news. I have plenty of ammo through mine with no issues. So what's the deal here... They loose zero in heat because of the glass? Why wouldn't zero return upon cooling then?

It depends entirely where your posting. An IP can be traced practically anywhere but an email address has to be publicly linked to you for someone to do a simple search and actually find you. Places like Facebook and twitter. make it very easy to find someone if you use an email adress. If you typed in my email address I don't think this forum would show up. Also, do not doubt they took moms computer at all. But they also wouldn't be a liberty to share the info on it. Everything that's been found was from simple internet searches.

Anyone have a good day? I got stuck in some mud wading and fell in the water at 5am this morning. Fun times! Good thing it was warm out today.... We did score some Teal tho, opening day is always a shit show..

I learn everything via the internet... =)

Sold out? What were you trying to say again? lol

Any info on this new addition to the market? Trijicon MRO http://www.ammoland.com/2015/08/trijicon-inc-launches-the-new-mro-a-brilliant-aiming-solution-for-red-dot-optics-2/

No one said it wouldnt work. The only place allowed by code to back feed is through the main box. An interlock does much more then just prevent back feeding, It makes your house compliant to code. Even an unrelated problem like an electrical fire could get you in trouble if that's found. All an insurance company has to say is your home was not wired correctly.

You can do it this way, you just need an dedicated inlet box and interlock switch for the breaker in the mainbox. Why? because god forbid anything ever happened.... even your insurance company will tell you to kick rocks if the house burns down. About the only thing I don't agree with is that I can't make my own interlock for 5 bucks and have to buy a UL approved piece of scrap metal for 80bucks.

The physical difference is that neutral and ground are bonded together to the frame of the generator. floating neutral means neutral is bonded to your house neutral so you have to disconnected it where it is bonded to ground on the genny. My generator says right on it that neutral is bonded to frame. My manual didn't even say it. If you look up the product number you should find something out there about how your genny is set up... its safe to say its bonded to ground as its standard for stand alone gennys, but exceptions do exist.

makes sense.... and luckily(not), my generac doesn't mention a damn thing about floating the neutral in the manual... So im gonna have to figure out where the neutral is bonded to ground... i believe its either on the back of the control panel or at the alternator. If I float neutral, should i ground the generator directly to earth is this a good idea to do regardless?? would it allow to me still plug things directly into the genny in the open 120v outlets? they are GFCI Outlets so im not sure if they will trip or not with out neutral bonded. ( or is this counter productive)

From everything I have read, nothing indicates having to float neutral using the 4 prong twist when wired correctly. correct?

Thanks! Yeah, HD and Lowes when I looked weren't priced that great but they did have everything you need.

Sounds like a good idea, the female plug is 25bucks shipped. and the shortest cable i can find is 10'. If i keep the 20' cord Im going to probably mount the inlet box inside by the garage door.

Im going to use the inlet box like the one you posted earlier... im going to connect(hardwire) it to the main box using the 20ft cable my genny came with... I'm really just re-purposing the 4 wires inside and i would need to pick up a new 240v twist maybe 5 feet. Hope this makes sense.

I was going to cut both ends and use a quick disconnect outdoor wall mount. Otherwise i have no use for the cord... and its 20ft, so it should be enough to get me outside to where the genny is going. Not sure on the legality but i would never feel right about having the male end coming out of the box, lol.... definitely goes against all common sense, and with out a lockout defiantly looking to kill urself

one side of the cord breaks the 240v twist into 4 120v standard outlets. So I can cut it off and use that side to wire to the panel.

awesome, yeah everything is rated at 30amps. I just need to run a well pump and provides power to run the natgas furnace.

Just to be sure. Wiring the 240 line to a double breaker in the box is legal as long as I have an interlock. Because I can just cut the ends off the 240 30a line that came with the generator and wire up a quick disconnect pretty easily. Would save me over 200 bucks and a ton of time rerouting the critical circuits.

That's true, didn't even think about that. Either way if someone is sure its 100% legal to do a lockout switch I'm going to do that. The basic hook up is much easier. I would just have to move the top 2 breakers.

Well your feeding power the opposite way through a breaker, feeding it backwards. I read some code that required breaking neutral. Could be wrong. I wasn't referring to back feeding the grid.

I thought about the interlock kit. But AFAIK the method of back feeding your main box is against code. Certainly would have been much cheaper and easier to do.

I need to buy a transfer switch panel for the generator. Kinda put it off and I have a feeling I'm gonna be wiring it in the middle of a power outage lol. Lowes has the reliance 6-circuit ive had my eye on in stock. If its still projected to hit land tomorrow I'm gonna have to run out and get it. Gas is always stocked min of 20 gals.

Im not sure on all of them, but on the LNL if you run one case through there is about a .004 change in COAL. You will seat deeper with a full shell plate compared to a single run. Im going to assume the crimp will probably be slightly tighter with a full plate as well in comparison. I dont crimp much and in a second stage so mileage may vary on that one.

I can hit them... they are much closer than 50.. LOL. I cant imagine them being any further then the pistol ports i go to that are 25 yards. Unless of course they moved them. but their in the first berm.

I'm partial to it. Most NJ ranges don't allow holsters, and those that do require some form of competency.
