Powder
Which powders are you guys using to reload with? We used green dot (shot shell powder) when we reloaded at school for our gun club, but I'm wanting to reload for competition and I'm curious to see what everyone else uses. My source will probably be Sportsman's Warehouse. I can't afford the creme of the crop, so I'd be looking for something functional and economical.
So, what'chu got?

3.2\3gr Clays (Standard not universal) behind a 180 flat point .40 out of a tactical for about 810 fps or 145pf for IDPA. Nice soft "pushy" load. I am going to rework this load for a lighter spring to get a little softer.
