It's typical of Mr Christian-Vorsitch that he didn't consider a more modern action using the abandoned loads. Especially funny since there's modern .410 loaded in what's essentially b-n-b for guns like the Taurus Judge.<br /><br />Shotguns are a goofy case. Recoil isn't the "recoil" of the gun, it's the controllability/repeatability chance. The slug first rule is a simplification to keep from having to randomly determine which round hit.
