Taurus states that you should not shoot 45 acp from a Judge 2. Never shoot a high pressure or a +P/+P+ load.
This begs the inquiry “Can you shoot 45 ACP in judges?”
The chamber pressure of the 45 acp is higher than the 45 colt.
Another frequently asked query is “Can you shoot 45 ACP in a S&W Governor?”.
Well, If you want to shoot .45 ACP in that type of gun, buy a S&W Governor. There are going to be head-space issues with .45 ACP, not to mention that the revolvers may not allow you to close the cylinder with the clips in place. You shouldn’t attempt to shoot .45 Auto-Rim in EITHER gun. “The past is another country, he did things differently there.”.
Another common inquiry is “Will 45 ACP trackers take full moon clips?”.
Some of the judges will take the full moon clips for the 45 acp Trackers. Mine will as easy as the Tracker does.
Is 410 ammo good for a Taurus Judge?
These ammo picks are favored choices by those who own the Taurus Judge. For the most part the .410 shells are not your best self-defense options if you are looking for a terminal load, although the #000 options can be quite damaging (as can the others in close range).
What is the best ammo for a Taurus Judge?
On that note, #00 and #000 weight options are available in a 2.5 inch shell. These are defined by 3 or 4 larger pellet loads and are considered the best close range defense option .
Shotgun shells are either filled with birdshot as a 2.5 inch size with various weights, or most buckshot as a 3 inch shell. Most Taurus Judges handle a variety of 2.5 inch shells, but as mentioned, the 6.5 inch barrel model does have 3 inch shell capabilities. The weight of your .45 Colt load will determine the velocity and energy of your round.
