-- To give you an idea of the uniform accuracy potential of White Hots Preformed Charges, I used two .50 caliber muzzleloaders, a new Traditions Guide Gun and a Knight DISC Excel, for a brief sight-in test. 

I had just mounted new bore-sighted, fixed-power 4X scopes on both rifles. I set up a portable target board at 50 yards away and fired from a bag rest.

I shot three loads with the Knight Excel using a 4X Brunton scope from a clean bore with no wiping passes between shots. The load was two preformed charges of White Hots and 435-grain White Power Star sabots.	I then shot three loads with the Traditions Guide Gun using a 4X Traditions Bronze scope from a clean bore with no wiping passes between shots. The load was two preformed charges of White Hots and 300-grain Traditions APB Easy-Load sabots.	I ran one wet patch through the Knight Excel and after resetting the scope, I moved the target to 100 yards and shot this five-shot test group with no wiping passes between shots with the same load of two preformed White Hots charges and 435-grain White Power Star sabots.

While I'm certain I could shoot better groups from a solid rest shooting bench with wiping patches run between each load, this test revealed that IMR's muzzleloader charges produce consistent shots in different rifles with substantially different projectile weights.
