Well, it is not from a Brunswick ball, but from a similar ball: I have an XXcel (see my review), a 15 lbs. 2 oz. ball with 3 3/4 oz. top weight before drilling. It is a 3 3/4" pin-out, with the CG kicked out 1 1/2“ to the left from the direct line between pin and BOMB due to some odd core placement.
All in all, my Xxcel received a drilling similar to Ebonite's standard pattern #4, adjusted for more length with the pin above the fingers: Pin at 4 1/2" from PAP and directly at 1:00 above the ring finger hole (works great fo me).
CG ended up in direct line below the ring finger hole, 1/2“ to the right of the midlane/grip center. The BOMB/MB marker was placed 2“ away at 4:00 from the thumb hole, effectively in a strong position at ~75° from PAP. Due to the CG shift inside of the ball to the left, no X-hole was necessary to keep the ball legal. Looks like this:
======*==
===o=o===
=========
=====#===

====O====
=======b=
* = Pin
# = CG
b = MB BOMB marker
This gives me bvery good length and a late, booming back end after about 40' or so on medium to medium-oily shots.
The Almighty (and the first asym. Zone cores) have a higher RG than the Scalien core from the Xcel balls, but a similar asym. RG diff. This drilling should be something that should work for you if you have similar style specs like me (check my profile, pls.). Hope this helps a bit?
Additionally, you can check out Brunswick's website in the pro shop area. There are older drilling sheets, among them the Warp Zoen and Time Zone which use the Almighty's core. They are rather vague, but they provide basic setup instructions for this type of ball. Nevertheless, pin above ring and MB at 60-75° from your PAP should give the reaction you are looking for.
