What do you consider a "stopping" cartridges for grizzlies? And on what basis?

The dangerous-game guides I know, both in North America and Africa, generally define it as a cartridge that will at least temporarily halt a charging animal long enough, even if the shot's not perfectly placed, to allow the shooter to put in another shot before the animal recovers from the previous shot.
