If not what bullet would I need? Asking the griz experts. You don't have to be a grizzly expert to know that it's a matter of luck and how well placed your shots are. Better penetrating 9mm rounds would be a better bet, though.

Of course, it was about to eat her as she was at the creek washing clothes and her single-shot .22 was all she had.

In my opinion, it's possible to stop a griz charge with a 9mm about 1 out of 50,000 times. The other 49,999 times the people attempting to do so will leave this world as a decomposing bear turd.
