Skull score

[BMWGSA]

Hello, I just picked up my bear skull from my taxidermist;mount will be done in a few more months. I am pretty new at bear hunting but have been big game hunting for 30 years. My question is my skull scored (19 8/16) dried so how is this for a score? I have been searching with not much luck, any help would be great.

That is a pretty good skull.
In the WA book (2nd edition) that would be in the mid 80's as far as placement.

By the way if it matters I shot this with a muzzle loader.

That would change it to 7th in the current WA book.

Anything over 19 is a good bear.

Thanks for the reply. I will post a picture when my half mount is done. I am having the bear stepping on a log with one foot and taking another step with the other. Cascade taxidermy is doing my bear.

Not sure on the weight, the consensus in camp was a little over 400lb that was comparing to other bears guys in camp have shot. I boned and caped in the bottom of a cannon. Two meat packs and one pack with the hide&head. The hide &head was my pack and I was squealing on the way out, that pack was close to a 90lb. Thanks to a geat pack frame and friends it went well.
