No, I used #9 shot, Some old skeet shells I cut open just for the bbs
I use some 1/8 felt paper I had bought at auto zone
I sharpened the edge of a 45 auto and used a dead blow hammer to cut out the wads

Cool I know guys who bought #12 and was not much better. #9 works better to me and goes little more distance.
Cards stock from old Primer boxes and 44 Mag or 45 colt like you did sharpened works well. I do have some 410 wads I cut down.
If you had notta, from the start some Wal-Mart 410 will get ya wads, shot. Even the box they came from can be cut with the 44-45 to make a cover. Threads like this make me want to make up some rubber bullets with Primer only.

Well there you go, Should work out well.
I wanted some low power snek shot for the Judge and cheap! The price of 410 shells are pretty high!
What i did was drop 4 grains of Bullseye down the case then drop a round piece i had cut out on top ( used a 357 case to seat it)
Then the shot which weighs out at around 195 grains, Then i installed another round disc on top and sealed with Elmer's glue.
Allow this to dry overnight and your in business with low cost,low power snek/rat shot!

Gator, i've got a 410 MEC 600 that I use to reload for myself and family members who own Judges, even cast my own 000 buckshot. You welcome to borrow or come here to use it

Man ,I appreciate that Danny and I may come by just for tips and to pick your brain, I did pick up 75-410 brass cases, Should last a few years, I have a 36 round ball mold.
Is this cool for buckshot?
Also I have a .41 cal. mold, I forget the weight of the bullet, But I'm thinking 410 slug?

Yep , the 36 is perfect. I have a couple of different buckshot molds, You got to remember the judge has a .452 bore barrel, a 41 cal bullet will not seal. I have some 450 Mongo loads from a few years ago but they will not chamber in the judge, worked great in a 45/410 contender. That is a 444 marlin expanded to 45 cal with a 45 bullet
