10mm Magnum (10mm Mag) and the Smith & Wesson 610

Mod'd my S&W 610 to take 40S&W, 10mm Auto, and now 10mm Magnum, a bit of a wildcat round that is comparable to the Remington 41 Magnum. I had the cylinder reamed out to accept the 10mm magnum cartridge, and now the smaller rounds can be used with moon clips -- same with the Magnum -- or the 10mm Magnum can be used without the moon clips. This platform feels like it's meant to shoot something this stout... it just feels right. Will be sharing homebrew ammo as I get around to making it. In the meantime, I'm using some very fine rounds from a bygone company called Maine Cartridge Company Inc. They did a pretty nice job with these, although they are FMJ so really only meant for plinking. The good part about it, is the brass is very good 10mm Magnum Starline, which is heavy duty and will serve me well with reloads. Sadly, new brass is not a priority for Starline right now; a backordered product that could remain so for a long time.
