the judge fires 45 colt which is the same as 45 long colt not to be confused with 45 acp it also fires 410 shot shells
Yes
no it only takes .45 Long Colt and .410 shotshells
No. From page 56 of the Taurus catalog there is no SAAMI specification for +P in .45 Long Colt caliber, therefore the warranty will be void if so called +P is fired.http://www.taurususa.com/2009catalog/?catalog_page=56
No. The Judge series are chambered for .45 Long Colt and .410-bore shotshells. That means a bore diameter of .454 inches, whereas the .30-06 has a diameter of .308 inches. In addition, the pressures would be unacceptable, and it's unlikely that an unrimmed .30-06 round would even chamber in a revolver.
It's a revolver made by Taurus. It is available in 2 1/2 or 3 inch cylinders and a couple of different barrel lengths. It will fire a .410 shotgun shell or a .45 Colt (commonly call ".45 Long Colt")
Have it checked over by a good gunsmith before you attmept this.
Needs to be examined by a gunsmith.
Actually, the cartridges are .45 ACP (automatic Colt Pistol) and .45 Colt (the cowboy era revolver cartridge. There is not really a Colt 45 Long. Can a revolver shoot both? Some can- they are chambered for the Colt .45 -but to shoot .45 ACP they need a "half moon clip"- a strip of metal that holds 3 of the shorter .45 ACP cartridges. 2 of those fill a 6 shot revolver. The PISTOL (not revolver) that shoots the .45 ACP cannot shoot the .45 Colt- no groove for the extractor to pull a fired cartridge out of the chamber, and it is too long.
None, other than a very few that are marked "45 Colt/ .410", such as a Thompson Contender, or Taurus Judge. Shooting .45 Colt or any other handgun cartridge in a .410 shotgun can be extremely dangerous. Can it be done? Yes. How many times can it be done before the shotgun fails, and injures you? Ah- THAT is the question- and no one has an answer for that.
a gunsmith needs to check both the ammo and rifle.
Nope. The .450 is a belted cartridge.
Danger,Do not attempt this!.
