By the time I was close enough to have a pattern sufficient for chipmunks and snakes I could easily put a 158gr hollowpoint or cast bullet into the target.<br /><br />It was an entertaining experiment but the twist of the rifling caused the pellets to disperse like Antifa wannabes hit with a water-cannon.<br /><br />Absolutely nothing wrong with a .357 Mag or 45 Colt (or anything in between) loaded with mid-range loads. Plenty to get the attention of anything weighing less than 300 pounds or to "put-down" animals hit by vehicles up to 2000 pounds.Eaton Rapids Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102166969915526172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-70045326029166086272019-11-20T18:44:05.915-05:002019-11-20T18:44:05.915-05:00Can't get past the idea of wanting to throw le...Can't get past the idea of wanting to throw lead shot down a precision rifled barrel meant for standard rounds....I asked a gun shop owner about 'The Judge' when it first came out, doubting my first impressions, and he just snorted. Have a long-barrelled Taurus .357 revolver (7 shot) that I carried hunting with me for years and really like.Aggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089648434324058300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-32052547973150920312019-11-20T17:14:47.164-05:002019-11-20T17:14:47.164-05:00Yeah, not much of a market.

The extra beef of chambering the smaller diameter .350 means there is more steel to support the higher pressures.<br /><br />Personally, I didn't see a market for the .45/.410 The Judge but I guess they are selling fairly well. I don't know how big of a market needs to be out there to justify the tooling.<br /><br />Fella wanted to bad enough, he could sleeve the .45 chambers and screw in a long .357 barrel to make his own.Eaton Rapids Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102166969915526172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-30234920190286319952019-11-20T14:27:00.467-05:002019-11-20T14:27:00.467-05:00Maybe a .450 bushmaster but there is no shotshell ...Maybe a .450 bushmaster but there is no shotshell to parallel the .350. Some one might make an outright pistol out of it. I met a guy who was fooling around with a .444 marlin in a pistol. By the way my 265 gr .44mag in a rifle is nominally 1700 fps. I don't have a cronograph.Howard Brewihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828388973685184730noreply@blogger.com
