Taurus Judge + p ???
This past weekend i picked up a Judge 3" mag, 3" barrel for no real reason. I was curious if it can handle my ruger, high pressure rounds. I have read conflicting answers to this question. Taurus does not quit say. Reason i asked is because i was wanting to play with it this weekend while i hunt. I am thinking of trying it on hogs. Not that i need + p for a boar, i just like hot loads.

imo it will fire em without exploding in yer hand, but i think if you continuously use them that eventually its gonna start losing pressure or something(fall apart, wiggle something loose)

Which "Judge Magnum" do you have? If you have the 513 Raging Judge Magnum, it's really a .454 Cassul with an extended cylinder for 3" .410 shells (assuming it's so labeled with .454/.45lc/.410). In that case, it can take anything up to SAAMI proofed .454 pressures. If it's a 4510, then it can only handle SAAMI .45LC loads.
Almost all of the Taurus revolver manuals that I have seen have listed that they are +P rated, but unfortunately, mine is a Raging Judge .454/.410, so I can't tell you what the 4510 model owners manual says.

I agree with you all, ill leave the +p loads for the black hawk. Heck, if i feel the need for a high pressure round ill just grab the 44mag. I have not cooked up a load for the judge, but did shoot a box of leverevolutions through it and they shoot well. Im surprised with this gun. Its pretty accurate with 45 s and is a nasty self defense gun with 3" 000 buck shot and even nastier with the PDX. I know some people have bad mouthed this gun, i don't know why, i love it.
