Both the .45 long colt and any type of .410 ammunition (shotshells, buckshot, or discs) exceed the limits of the range and should not be used.   This applies to handguns (taurus judge, S&W governor, heritage revolvers) and long guns (rossi circuit judge, shotguns). ammo information follows....... Federal Federal Cartridge Co. came out with the first .45/.410 handgun load a couple of years ago, and that line has expanded to four options. The first is a 2½-inch load with four 000 pellets. Buckshot shooters know that a 000 pellet measures approximately 0.357 inches and weighs 72 or 73 grains. Federal’s are copper-plated and leave the muzzle of a short revolver in a long plastic shot cup at a published velocity of 1,200 fps. That is also the velocity of a similar Federal 2½-inch load, this one loaded with 7/16 ounces of No. 4 s
