What are you shooting at? Birds, reptiles, people?
Federal has come out with a great-looking 000 load specifically designed for short barrels like The Judge. I have a Judge on the nightstand. It's loaded with (in order) two rounds of Federal 000 short-barrel buck and three of Corbon .45 Colt +p 265 gr. BCHP.
Each 000 buck shell is 4 rounds of .32 ball that should be quite effective at close range. Slows him down until I can get my eyes open.
