Good topic!
As mentioned, a steel target is generally more difficult to hit when it's the first OR last target to shoot in any one position. Being able to call that first or last shot in a given position is a valueable skill, and the margin of error is much less when shooting steel.
If you can set up some steel plates so they don't fall when hit, do so and put 2 shots on each steel. The farther away you get from the steel target, the more it will show you the deficiancies with your grip/sight tracking/shot calling.
Close up "hoser" arrays with no-shoots or hard cover are impossible to re-create with steel, and come up enough in matches to justify getting some paper targets into your practice sessions.
If I HAD to choose a ratio of steel:paper, factoring in cost of cardbard targets and longevity of steel, I'd probably go with about a 3:1 steel to paper ratio.

IF YOU BUY ANYTHING BUT A DILLON I THINK YOU HAVE MADE A MISTAKE.

4.3 gr WST with a 230gr LRN makes major for me.

Check us out!
We have several .40's to choose from including 180's. If you want consistency and good value, these are for you!

There are tens of thousands of people around the country shooting lead bullets with no problems. Don't be afraid of them, they won't give you lead poisoning unless you decide to eat them or lick your fingers. The money saved on lead bullets, especially larger ones, pays off significantly in the long run.

Very cool!

I love Autocomp for minor .40 loads, haven't tried with 9mm.
For 147gr lead in 9mm I use Accurate No. 7. Somewhere in the 5.5gr area would be a good start. Ran ten of thousands of them in the last decade or so. If you want more specifics, pm me.

I won't load pistol ammo again without case lube.. I take the time every 100-200 rounds to dump my loaded ammo out on a towel and wipe the lube off of it(also a good step for finding high primers or anything else). I use a lanolin based lube that I massage onto the brass before loading, and it's a pretty "thick" substance. I feel like I exert the same amount of energy loading 1,000 rounds with lube as I do 100 rounds of unlubed cases.
No doubt in my mind that case lube can extend the life of a loader and your hands, wrist, elbow, shoulder, back, etc. As for the brass, I don't see it making much of a difference in life span, but I could be wrong on that one.

Our 9mm 125 RN's are 6.3 cents per bullet if you buy a case of 3,500 of them to maximize shipping value. For bulk purchases we offer 10% off, which cuts cost to 5.7 cents per round.

Maybe you should move to REVOLVER!

It's been awhile since I've posted my last videos, and the advice I got last time has taken me to another level. Here are videos from last fall one of which is in Single Stack division and one is Limited. I know there are still alot of things I need work on, any advice is appreciated.

Awesome! Thanks for making this match happen! PASA never disappoints, and I'm sure this match will be no different.

N310 + 230gr LRN in .45 is a very consistent, soft, clean choice for .45 ACP. I use 3.7-3.8 gr for a 169-ish PF.
N320 for .40's

Microfiber towel and a light mist of a silicone spray will have them shining bright in no time and have a really slick finish. I massage about 200 at a time for maybe 15 seconds so it's not like it's taking up much time.

I would also opt for an Edge. You won't want or need to buy another gun for 3-5 years!

Give Rich at Canyon Creek Firearms a call . He is in central Ill.
What he said! ^^^^^^^^

Welcome, what part of the state are you in? You'll find alot of info here... The search feature is your friend!

Anything that helps hand eye coordination is good in my book, especialy coordination to your trigger finger like most first person shooter games do. Add to that the fact that you're developing visual patience and calling your shot(s) while playing. All the while your mind is processing tons of information very quickly... It can't hurt, and yes... I DO think it helps!

ETA - You can't go wrong with Call of Duty MW3, or most of the older versions back to Call of Duty 4

What is the format for the Limited nationals? Does everybody shoot it in 1 day, or is it 1/2 days.......? Thanks!
-
There are still ALOT of people shooting .45 in SS. .40 is just convienient for most people. The SS nats was won in 2011 with a .45 btw.
-
Where in IL are you located? There are several good matches I attend regularly around central IL. Springfield is, as Dirk said a good place to get aquainted with the game. -Ryan

I'd be tempted to try some sort of bill drill variant to focus on grip, which will affect sight tracking.

Or...he'd just tell everyone to screw off and do what he wants to do.
I can be a bit unpredictable that way.... =)
No.... You? haha
You should consider checking out one of Rich's (Canyon Creek) production XD's. Seriously well done.
What mag release buttons are folks running?
in 1911-style Pistols

This one on the Single Stack gun : http://www.shootersconnectionstore.com/Wilson-Oversized-Mag-release-Blue-P632.aspx
and this one on the Edge Limited gun angled up and back at about a 45 degree angle: http://www.1911store.com/magreleasebuttonsti-oversize.aspx
I don't have to adjust my grip on either gun when using these buttons, and as Eric said, you may have to have a small relief in the left grip for your thumb to get a little closer to the button.
