S&W-610 or S&W460 which one?

Me, I'd get the 610.... but then I have pistols in 10mm & .40 S&W, to I am already set up to load for it/them.
Personally, I have no use for either a .460 or .500.... I don't begrudge others on this, but they are just not my cup of tea. I'll stick with my Model 57 .41 Magnum, thanks.
NAA.

Even reloading for the .460 or .454 is going to run you into big money per round. And that is IF you can find bullets.
I just started into reloading and I've got all the stuff I need for 50 rounds of .500S&W. But at $45 for a box of 50 jacketed bullets along with the fairly massive amount of powder these big ones use it's still costing me around a $1.25 a round to reload. The .460 may save you a few cents per round but it'll still be on the plus size of a buck a round. The only way to drop this significantly is to get into casting your own lead bullets and find a box o' gas checks to use with them.
Now if this will be a few rounds a month for giggles sort of gun then I'd have to say go for the big 460. But if the idea is to shoot it on a regular basis and you're not planning on jumping into reloading at the moment then the choice is clear and shooting .40's from moonclips is the way to go. And if you find some 10mm somewhere I understand that they can do a pretty decent job of rocking your day.

Interesting thread. I have a 686 and 629 and reload for the 500 already so my next aquizition will be a 500. The 610 is intriguing as I always liked the 40 cals but haven't been able to find a 41 revolver.
Get a 610, moonclips are ###y.
Mine was a little rough out of the box, turns out it was bone dry on the inside. I lubed it up a bit and whispered sweet nothings to it and now it's shoots like it was hand-carved out of a solid block of crystal.
