Each shot would be similar to 4 hits with 380 ball ammo. Assuming the target is close enough to get all 4 balls on target. So with 5 rounds you get = to 20 shots with your 380 if the target is close enough .

Ours is the most used firearm on our property, mainly for snakes. Works great on feral cats, coons, skunks, and opossum's as well. As long as we live in the country it will never be sold.

You guys that live in the country and use them have more practical experience than the rest of us combined .
And I gotta confess I have a bond arms 45/410 I just like it for no practical reason . I don't even carry it for snakes . Just get it out about once a year and shoot 8 or 10 , 410s and put it up for another year.
I was a member at another forum where a member actually used his in a defensive situation at a few feet and it was a DRT to the bad guy , he was struck in the neck with the 00 buck load.
Basically a Governor is a dependable Judge. It’s put together a lot better. I have shot Judge, Gov and Circuit Judge, novelties at best. Non of them are accurate with 45 Colt. As far as killing some varmit with shot you have to be right on top of it. SD with Buck you are close so effective range would be inside no miss zone for any handgun.
A 410 shotgun is better choice for farm gun. A 44 or 45 with shot caps is better choice for the occasional close range varmit.
