I want a revolver. I got interested in the new Ruger 460 but I will use it for a target pistol exclusively. Bullseye, Silhouette maybe Bowling Pin. Any recommendations on Make, Model and caliber will be appreciated.
Thanks,

S&W 625 in 45 acp
get either the performance center version or an older one with the firing pin on the hammer. that should handle all you describe
 
The SW .44's are pretty good for that too like a model 29. Download the round a bit to reduce speed so the pins don't vaporize.
 
I'd have to agree with perfessr - I am constantly amazed at the accuracy & smooth action of my S&W Model 625. Mine is a recent purchase with the firing pin in the frame. It shoots into 1/2" hole at 25 yds. I couldn't even do that with my Kimber Gold Match ($1,200.00). Not only is the D.A. smooth, the cylinders are so well polished that the brass falls out without using moon clips.
 
I've never owned a Smith & Wesson model 29 or 629 that wasn't a first class shooter, although my preferred loads for the caliber tend to be very light .44 special (semi-wadcutters) in .44 magnum cases.

My favorite center-fire revolver is the Colt Python, and again, I load very light .38 special target loads in .357 magnum cases with hollow-based wadcutters.

Both the Smith & Wesson N frame .44 and Python are very accurate with full loads, but arthritis and computer wrist are conspiring to confine me to lighter ammunition--and of course, Smith & Wesson's hopping into bed with the Snopes Clinton-Liar Gore régime put an end to my buying products from that bunch of anti-Second Amendment bigots!
 
One of my favorites is my P&R model 57. .41 mangun is one of the calibers that benefits from being able to load your own though. It's not the most common caliber, but it does have it's following (see sig). :D
