4 me it would not matter which one round I used, now if I was more intimate with one rifle than the other then it would be a no brainer for me.

Personally, I feel that stopping bruins @ close range is all about CNS hits. I'll take one well placed round to the CNS and I'd prefer not to wonder if I can turn the bruin with a non CNS shot.

A fella I know does a lot of work with grizzlies (he trains them for movie work and such) timed one of his bruins in a 50 yd dash. And keep in mind that this is a "soft" captive bruin. Said track star made it the 50 in several timings from 2.9 seconds to 4.5 seconds.

Now, say he starts at you from 10 yds like Steely mentioned what will your choice of shot be, as it may well be your last....

Just a thought to chew over
