Greetings all,
I am new to reloading, and trying to do some research. I currently own an 1895SBL, 18.5 barrel. I use the gun primarily for bear defense. Both Grizz's and black. I am curious what grain bullet you guys recommend for this purpose, as well as the powder. I likely wont be shooting if the creature is more than 100 yds away.
The secondary use of this amazing gun will be for hunting feral pig. Do you suggest a different grain and powder?
Thanks for your patience as I am new to this, but your feedback would be great!
