How close can you get to Buggs?

I've had a Judge since they came out however many years ago? I use it loaded with 6s for the MANY, LARGE & cantankerous cottonmouths on my riverbottom swamp/farm. I patterned 4, 6, 7.5, 8 & 9 shot & 6s were the "head & shoulders winner" in that trial. I've killed snakes at 15-20yds with it but they rarely "rolled up dead" at such distances with one shot like they do inside 10yds.

I've gotta bud who has busted a few skeet out of mid air with his S&W Governor (S&Ws version of a 45/.410 revolver) & I've done the same on a few beer bottles tossed into the air with my Judge. But those are more "hold my beer & watch this" stunts than regular occurences.

My Judge & my buds Gov. are standard 2.5" chambers. I've never used a 3" so not sure what additional power it would offer, but I'd still doubt it'd be a reliable bunny slayer.
