.410 Judge Loads
I know this site is full of serious loaders and that Taurus Judge style pistols draw the ire of more serious shooters, but I will post up my thoughts and solicited your reactions. After some reading up on the subject of loading .410's for The Taurus Judge I am thinking of trying the following load.
.410 Brass Case Load: 444 Marlin Brass (fits the Judge chambers well), w WLR Primers, Ballistic Products Stretch .410 Full-Length Wad, 3 ea .380" Super Buck #0000 (tot Wt. aprox 252 gr.) with overshot wad crimped & glued, over 8.0 gr Unique. Anyone try this one or something similar? FYI Alliant Powder web site shows 9.5gr Unique as the max load for 250 gr. LSWC |

Simular, maybe, but in a .357 mag, not a .410 pistol.
When I was a kid I machined out a die the same internal size as a Speer blue plastic shot capsule and put OO buck shot pellets in it and hammered them down in to cylinders that would slide inside of the shot capsules. I could get three in there. I shot these out of my .357 mag model 28 6" and got a three shot spread of about 15" at 15yds. The recoil was shaking the caps off the end of the shot capsules so I scrapped the experiment. I could have glued them on but I couldn't see any practical value to the loads, I was just bored and was looking for something to play with. If I would have had a smooth bore pistol I would have kept going with it but that was long before the Judge came out. |

Why not just use .410 plastic hulls? A lot easier to work with.

I haven't tried it, but I thought standard plastic wads wouldn't work well in brass cases.
