    I'd use the action you are most comfortable with. I would need an awful lot of ammo to run a lever gun as quickly and effectively as I can a pump shotgun.
    The only thing I like as much as trucks, is guns.

    My bear defense gun is a SKS with two clips loaded with FMJ and lead tip (loaded alternately). Haven't had to use it yet thankfully but I think it will do the trick.

    Except for the fact that FMJ ammo is illegal to use while hunting or trapping in BC and your SKS will probably jam like the rest haha. You need to re think your setup there..

    I don’t see the need for FMJ ammunition either, but SKS rifles are not prone to jams. It’s more likely to jam a pump action shotgun than an SKS.
    Knowledgeable shooters agree- The 375 Ruger is the NEW KING of all 375 caliber cartridges. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!

    I agree, I bet the average guy would short stroke the pump

    If you cant cycle your Gun well in a high Stress Situation (high Stress in my mind is under 15 Feet), you probably have a Bad Day. The heavier the Bullet the better.

    Been there done that.

    I don't hunt with FMJ. This is my defense gun - would you not shoot a charging bear without a tag to save your life? That would be "illegal" too. My SKS has never ever jammed after 1500 rounds through it haha...

    FMJ would be a good bone buster to slow/stop a charge for a follow up lead tip shot
