While I have shot the Aydt I got it towards the end of my competition in schuetzen matches. Its very accurate and the bore is perfect. I have a mold for it and I load the cartridges with bullets seated in the cases.
I am quite familar with other bullet seating methods but I prefer the loaded cartridge for offhand matches.
I did most of my shooting with the Hepburn and yes they kick however they let me wear my leather shooting coat which really soaks up the recoil.
