Saw this on another forum, seems it's happened before.
If your interested in following this here are the links
Taurus Judge Blew Up With My Handloads. Opinions?
Chasing The Blown Up Taurus Mystery. Here Is What I Have Found So Far

It's my understanding that if the manufacturer finds out you hand load they will find some way to void the warranty and blame it on you.
IF you have one of these, caution is advised.
Stainless Steel Taurus Judge blew up. The cylinder split and the top strap is missing.

I was wondering if those would handle magnum level heavy Colt 45 loads. Guess that questions been answered.
Well, there's heavy and then there's HEAVY and Stupid. Not long ago I saw a Freedom Arms .45-70 Wheel Gun that looks pretty much like that. Turned out the owner had been using Bullseye Powder in his other guns and decided to go with that in his .45-70. It didn't seem to work out so well!
 
Yep taurus has been dead too me, just get the actual model they are copying...
Same goes for Keltec and the other companies started by the owner of Keltec, like The tec9 interdynamics, grendel.
George kellgren stop making garbage.

Except, the Judge is the original .45lc/.410 revolver. Im not a Taurus fan either though but the PT92 and PT1911s are nice shootets i'll give them that much.
 
While I don't own one, here are the calibers by pistol:
Taurus Judge - .45 colt and .410 shot (2 1/2)
S&W Governor - .45 colt, .45 acp and .410 shot (2 1/2)
Taurus Raging Judge Magnum - .45 colt, .410 shot (3) and .454 Casull

Hubby has been looking at the Judge and Governor off and on since they came out.
