When the Judge came out, the available buckshot loads dispursed so quickly that they were not much good past 15 feet. The new Remington 000 ought four pellet load holds pretty tight at twice that range and the Winchester Western PDX shows some real promise for self defense/varmints.
The payload consists of three 70 grain slugs and twelve bb size shot. The slugs hold pretty much to center mass out to 60 feet and presente a tight cluster at 30.
Slugs are still traveling in mass at six feet (center mass) and ten feet (head)
The combined shot column weighed out at 307 grains
I didn't feel like destroying my chronograph but the effect on this watermelon portends some significant velocity- shot from about 12 feet
A fairly decent supply of these has recently reached dealers shelves all over the place.
