No. The Judge is not rated for +P. Ammunition. By using the weapon will show accelerated wear. Nominal velocities with the 250gr ammunition must be loaded to no more than 18000 psi +P is loaded much higher. The 250 gr load should have a .muzzle velocity of less than 1000 ft/ sec.

No, and A RAGING JUDGE WILL.PERMIT.
AS THE CHAMBERS ARE MORE THAN TWICE AS STRONG, TO PERMIT A 454CASULL TO BE LOADED AND FIRED.
DO NOT FIRE THIS LOAD IN ANY 45 LONG COLT, EXCEPT A MAGNUM CAPABLE ACTION.
AS THE PRESSURES ARE WAY ABOVE THE STANDARD CHAMBER PRESSURES OF A STANDARD 45 LONG COLT.
SUCH AS THE COLT 1873 PEACEMAKER, OR EVEN A RUGER VAQUERO.
CHAMBER WEB IS MUCH TO THIN, AND THE STEEL IS NOT UP TO.+P.
INCREASED PRESSURES
