The few local matches I have done so far I have done well for shooting limited minor with my G34. I know getting out and shooting more would improve my skill more, currently that is not a option at all. I am looking at changing to major later down the road when I can afford it because I know it is a way to not lose points for the same "c" hits with minor. Cost of ammo is not a factor since I cast my own bullets and have a source for free lead, have a ton of powder and primers bought a few years ago for cheap, and have a local supply of ginex primers for cheap. Thanks for all of your info.
