I dont see either one immediately stopping an angry bear without a CNS shot and the NBT kills deer sized game a lot quicker

Just my . 02


had a 500 lb bear show up while hunting when I lived in Minnesota...

it was pissed I was trespassing on its little territory evidently..

I was using a 243, with 95 grain Ballistic Tips for a load... factory Federal ammo..

one shot put the bear down at 100 yds or so...
a second shot up close killed it... but I don't think it was needed... the thing was busy dying..

but my mind was telling me and my bladder, I was hunting with a 243.. and that was a pretty good sized bear..
and they have been known to recover and get up and continue the chase...so I bought the insurance of a second shot...
