Circuit Judge :: Day 1 :: Zero

Picked up a new Taurus/Rossi Circuit Judge carbine chambered in .45 (Long) Colt / 410 gauge and spent my first hour behind it this AM getting it zero’d using a Holosun HS503C red dot site.

The first sequence in the video is of shooting five rounds of Winchester PDX1 (410 gauge, 3 inch) self-defense shotgun ammo at a distance of 65 feet. That’s a LONG shot given the firearm and ammo, but I was really impressed with accuracy energy on target.

The second sequence is of shooting five rounds of Hornady Critical Defense .45 Colt 185 grain FTX rifle ammo from 50 yards out. The red dot was zero’d at 65 feet with no adjustments made prior to engaging from 50 yards, so it may be a little off. My sense is it is shooting low/right.

I need to put a few 100 more rounds through the rifle before I can write a meaningful review, but so far … I’m favorably impressed.
