Well, I see one must use a 'moon clip' to fire the .45ACP rounds in the S&W. Ever used one of those?
Looks like you'd have to slide the rounds in the moon clip, and then slide all the clipped rounds
into the cylinder.

Yes, the 'moon' clips were originated in WWI so the Brits could fire the .45 ACP in their .45 Webley revolvers. And that's OK for the Judge, but I'd just as soon use .410's if I had one.
I don't think Taurus makes the moon clips for the Judge, as S&W does for the Governor. However, upon
looking, I came across this:

I don't know what Taurus says about this. One video says that 'it is not recommended by the weapon
manufacturer. But, they seem to work pretty well.
