I have never shot a griz but 600 and 700 lb black bear do pucker the anal shyncter when charging. They cover a lot of ground even when wounded. Incidently that is the only kind that have charged me. I used to work for an outfitter who had me go finish off wounded bears his clients had wounded.
When the bear charges his head is down and he is making some very fast yardage. The first one I shot at the top of its head and took out the spine a foot behind aim point. He went down but still had use of front paws and was raking the blueberry bushes when my second shot ruined a very nice skull mount.
I have to admit there was a fair shake going on at that point. I started using a bigger gun and paying a whole lot better attention. My bother and I have a name for bear spray....seasoning. Make lots of noise and you will probably never see the bears.
