Let me elaborate:
They are getting squashed before they leave the bbl.  CSD's link is the first I saw where they squashed to the point where they swaged the rifling in the rim of the disks.



What about the Judge causes this that doesn't happen in a traditional .410 shotgun?  Or does it?

That's a good question.  They were using standard buck, not Judge-designed.

I wonder if the first ball gets a little drag when it hits the rifling, just enough to allow the free-boring second pellet behind it to catch up and mush, which then snags even more of the rifling slowing it down even more, which results in third pellet hitting it even harder.

I would think it would be sorta more efficient to cast bullets in a mold instead of a barrel  =|
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Well, yeah.  But this looks like swaging, so perhaps they are on to something.  :laugh:

If The Judge is changing the shape of its projectiles, should we call it The Activist Judge?
