It is a close range in home defense. It is also good if might shoot into the home next to you. I put two of the shot in the first chambers. Then the next three are 45 hollow point.
Those shotshells are nothing more than snakeshot. I would not use them for anything else. The Judge seems to be an ideal survival and camp gun used against snakes, small predators and using the .45 Colts, two legged predators.
You’re much better off using your .40 for home defense.
