Larry, I am uncomfortable with the use of wire nuts on a feeder. I tend to think of 'feeders' along the same lines as 'services,' and would prefer not to have such a splice... even if it is technically 'legal.' Mabye I'd feel better about using NSI's.
Oh, and kudos for reminding us that a panel would mean a ground rod was required!

George, I seem to recall the code specifying a minimum 100 amp service to each "residence". That would mean 100 amps per apartment.

The main point of my earlier post was to underline the need to be clear as to exactly what the intended purpose of the sub-panel was. All too often, I've seen folks try to "finesse" things, and be unhappy with the result. Might as well do it right to begin with!
