Score 1oz and Brenneke 1.25oz

[canadianshooter]

Just out of curiosity I pulled apart a Brenneke Heavy Field Short Magnum 2 3/4" 1 1/4oz slug and a Score 1oz slug. Since they're not even the same weight it's a bit of comparing apples to oranges but anyway:

Score is on the left and Brenneke on the right











Score:


Brenneke:






The Score slug had a very deep design like a Foster while the Brenneke was nose heavy with a larger proportion of the lead in the nose (keep in mind the Brenneke is 1/4oz heavier).


Notice the Brenneke is shorter even though it is a heavier slug, this is because more of the cavity is full towards the nose.






Brenneke powder on the right is square cut stuff.

Nice! I wonder how the manufacturing differences affect terminal performance

I haven't shot the Score slugs yet and haven't used the Brenneke on animals yet. I found the Brennekes to be very accurate (in smooth bore slug terms). I have been disappointed in terminal performance in typical Foster slugs which is why I'm looking for other options.

I didn't know slugs were mostly hollow.

I would like to see how they compare in performance to the Challenger Slugs. I know those slugs are very good.

Agreed. Side by side with challengers and the SCORE slugs would be nice. Thanks to the OP for the review though, i just placed my order for 200 slugs!

I`d be interested to know how many grains of powder are in the score slugs.

Where did you find a case of 200 slugs?! I've been looking for a while, apparently my google-fu is lacking.

Awesome, thanks.
What's everyone's thoughts on 1oz vs 1.25oz slugs for hunting? Heavier slug, more hitting power would be my guess but I can't honestly say I've ever felt under gunned with a 1oz slug.

Interesting that the weight of the wad is included in the 'weight' of the slug.
