The old saying is "Always save the last round for yourself"! Don't know about grizzley bear but a hardcast 300 gr. bullet works on black bear. If I were to be in the area where a bear might try to eat me, I'd have a 12 ga. pump with slugs.

I some how missed giz. and was thinking balck. If your worried about a griz. leave the .44 at home and take a .500 S&W. While I was in Alaska afew years back a guy told me about a friend of his that dumped 6 round form his .44 mag. into a griz. befor it maulled him real bad. They were all well placed according to him, and the bear died on top of him. BUT, he said the guy was lucky to get out of it alive and 5 year later he is still not recovered completly and probly never will.
