I'm going to take a look at this XJ today. Would like to get some more experienced eyes on it. Carfax looks good. Planning on running mostly unmodified. Thanks for any input, hoping to join the group soon!

I just ran the script on a laptop, and have found that file transfers no longer work over USB connection (Galaxy S6). File transfers from unit's built-in SD Card slot works, but at a severely reduced pace. My suspicion would be that it might be a problem with Windows' USB Mass Storage Device driver, but I kind of suck at diagnosing those sorts of issues. Any help appreciated. Machine is running Windows 8 with the tablet frontend disabled.

So I just happened to look over my copy of the Form 4 I sent in. Realized that I somehow missed 17a and 17b. How screwed am I?

I'm a bit stumped on this one. Here are my awful results from less than 5 feet:

Pretty bad.

Here's what I've got:

Bullets are cast from a Lee 309-230gr-5r mold. BHN of around 14. All finished, they are 226 gr. +/- .5. Powder-coated with Harbor Freight Red, air cooled after that. Sized to .309".

Loaded into converted 5.56 cases, mostly LC, all have been verified to have thickness .012" or under at the mouth. Seated to the forward driving band - about as long as I can get them while still chambering properly. I flare the brass just enough to seat without shaving the bullet, remove flare with Lee Factory Crimp Die.

Primers are CCI #41s, hard cup for AR

Like the title says, I got a new chain about 1,500 mi ago, and have not yet needed to adjust it - it's still within the spec of 1" - 1 1/4" of freeplay while resting on its side-stand. Now, I know the NC isn't exactly a high-performance bike, but I would expect at least some need for adjustment by now. I keep it reasonably clean and lubricated. Should I be worried?

I've been using my own powder coated cast boolits for a while now after switching from alox tumbling, and I finally got around to actually testing them for hardness last night. What I found surprised me.

My source for lead has been 25# bags of magnum shot. According to my Lee hardness tester, this stuff drops at a BHN of around 26. According to the pressure chart, this should be good for the upper end of lead .357 mag loadings. However most of my loads are midrange, which probably explains why I previously had some leading issues with the hard alloy.

So this is what I'm stuck on - when I tested a powder coated cast boolit last night (after filing the powder coat off of the meplat) I came u

2x PX4 9mm 17-rd Magazines. One is new/unused, the other has had 17 rounds through it. These came with my CX4 Storm, but I opted to convert it to 92 mags. Price is $35 shipped, payment is via PayPal. Please make sure these are legal in your state.

Up for grabs are the parts for a Beretta CX4 Storm carbine to accept PX4 magazines. This is open to anyone who wants it, taker pays $5 via PayPal for shipping. This came stock on a CX4 I got via trade, I decided to convert it to 92 style mags. The kit consists of a magazine sleeve and a magazine release.

• Primer: CCI #400

• COL: 2.210"

• Powder Charge: 16.5gr

• Velocity: 1852fps

• Platform: AAC Handi-Rifle 16" 1:7 twist

I based on Sierra load data for H4227, with the assumption that H4227 = IMR4227 which I've heard is the case. Exceptionally clean powder burn, good accuracy. However, even though this is near the bottom end of the charge range, my primers came out pretty flat, and the velocity was about 100 fps lower than expected. I likely won't be pursuing this load further.

• Hull: Remington STS

• Primer: Win 209

• Powder Charge: 43gr

• Wad: 12F114

• Projectile: Lyman 525gr lead cast sabot slug

• Velocity: 1500fps

Yes kids, 525gr at 1500fps. That's edging into .30-06 territory as far as kinetic energy. This round seated and crimped nicely. They shot well, but frankly I don't load many of them because the recoil is brutal. As with every other load I've tried for this slug, the wads get mangled.

• Hull: Winchester AA

• Primer: Win 209

• Powder Charge: 22gr

• Wad: Federal 12S3

• Projectile: Lyman 525gr lead cast sabot slug

• Velocity: 1124fps

I've found that this load results in a slightly "long" load, meaning the crimp doesn't want to stay closed. I may try bumping this load down to 20gr - I haven't done a lot of research as far as reducing shotgun loads. My current understanding is that you don't mess with them for the most part. Recoil was more manageable with this load than some others I've tried, and accuracy was decent.

Edit: Forgot to mention, as with every other load I've found for this slug so far, the wads get completely obliterated. Petals rarely remain attached,
