I also recently bought a SBEII, black, comfortech. I had no idea that i had to shoot heavy loads to break it in. I think i probably put 150 2.75s through it and it started to malfunction, mostly just not throwing the shells out. Then i blasted about 20 or so 3.5 BBB through it and now it hasnt missed a beat. Its got about 800-1000 shells through it and it hasn't malfunctioned.

I agree manr0e, althought the bolt will most likely be fine, there could be that one time it slips and the gun just goes click. Especially carrying the gun around for self defense. Id said buy a supernova for turkey hunting but go out and get yourself like a S&W .50 because you feel the need to have the ultimate amount of firepower. Not that I am disagreeing with you at all, if a bear was going to attack me I would want something with the most power.
