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!.
