Anyone shooting the Score target ammo? Curious how it seems to stack up against the other low priced options (Federal Top Gun, Estates, Win Super Targets, etc) in terms of breaking clays.
 
I had half a dozen cases of their target ammo and just used up the last box yesterday. In terms of breaking clays... well, they break clays as reliably as any other low cost ammo but I haven't patterned any of them if that's what you mean. I was told that the company claims their velocity is more consistent than most other brands but I can't confirm that. I find the recoil of their 1 oz 1200 fps loads about on par with the challenger equivalent loads and slightly more than the 1 oz super target 1180 fps loads.
After I shot off my last box yesterday, I sent score an email inquiring about the antimony levels of their shot and will post the answer when they get back to me.
 
I bought a case online when they were on sale. Guess they broke birds as well as any. Found the recoil a little stout compared to similar offerings.

YMMV
 
Shooters at the club here shoot lots of it. Seems to work as well as any other. One of the top trap shooters in SK and Canada for that matter shoots it. He was telling us how they had asked him to help them design a handicap load and was testing the loads they were collaborating on. It tends to run $80/$85 flat out here.

I just heard back from score and they state that their target ammo in 7.5 and 8 shot is 2.5% antimony. By comparison, challenger are also 2.5%, super target is 3% and gun club is 2%, so they're pretty much on par with the rest of the low cost ammo.

Thank you for sharing that info.

All Kent target ammo is apparently 4%. AA’s are listed as 6%.

Kent emailed me that their diamond shot is 2 1/2 - 3%. Nice ammo though with a wide range to select from.

That's interesting, I read about another inquiry where they stated that all of their lead loads were 4%, maybe that has changed. They also stated that they had nothing written down.

An independent test I read about put AA's at 4.95% and STS was the highest antimony at 5.4% even though both AA and STS is listed by the manufacturers at 6%.
 
I have shot score for 3 years and have gone thru over 10 flats ( over 2500 rounds) without a hiccup..no mis fires nothing.

I find then a good value.

Some at the club say they shoot dirty, I clean my gun after every shoot so it's no problem for me.

I use between 30 and 40 flats a year, been using it for about three years and maybe three rounds total that were duds.
 
We have been shooting Score at our club (SOSA) here in the Okanagan for about 5 years. We have purchased 14 pallets of them in that time . They are great for the money and best of all a Canadian product. Tom and Ismail are great guys to deal with and do their best for small clubs like ours.
