[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1974429, member: 5412"] I actually did a pretty extensive review of different loads in the judge a couple of years ago when I first got it. It was prior to the speciality ammo we have now that was designed for the judge. To say the least, I was unimpressed with the performance of ammo designed to be used in standard length shotguns. The 00 buck would flatten against each other, and fly every where. Slugs had little penetration, etc. With the new ammo, designed for this gun, my opinion has changed. With faster burning powders, the velocity and penetration has improved tremendously. Harder lead, copper coated 00 buck pellets come out round, and produce consistent tight patterns. Sadly, the bird shot rounds are still not where they should be. That little bit of rifling in the end of the barrel causes the patterns to be very large at very close ranges. There isn't enough pellets in the charge to fill in all of the holes. I'd use it on a rabbit at 5 yds, but not 10. [/QUOTE]
