Read the box o' truth article on the Judge, then read the one on snake loads for the .38 and .44 revolver. Pay special attention to the pattern pics, and then remember that the .410 out of a 3 inch revolver is about 750 fps, the 38 or 44 shotshell load is about 1000 fps.

My son is a Cadet at the Air Force Academy. The place is crawling with deer, and there are some monster bucks.
