I understand something like the Taurus Judge can fire both the .45 Long Colt and a .410. That leads me to wonder can a light or medium loaded .45 Long Colt be safely fired in a standard .410 shotgun? If 'yes' then what would be the expected accuracy if fired from a smooth bore (traditional shotgun) barrel? If 'yes' are any .45 LC bullets made having some grooves to impart some spin to improve accuracy if fired from a smooth bore barrel? It seems a 200+/- grain LC bullet would pack more oomph than a 90 grain .410 slug - or would it, if the load were light enough not to exceed safe pressures in a .410 barrel?
The reasons I'm asking are: (1) Curiosity. (2) I'm considering getting a trunk/pack/early-season-squirrel gun, such as the Chiappa Double Badger .22/.410. Being able to fire a .45 LC from the .410 barrel would add a little more versatility to the gun if I ever needed it for survival or some other unexpected purpose.
Thanks,
Andrew
