How much bandwidth on the internet has been used with the [my carry load] vs grizzly or "What's a good load against bear?" threads on forums?
Here is an actual real-life example of a 9mm vs grizzly that has surprisingly been making the rounds in mainstream media!

You can read the articles, but the spoilers of it are:
S&W 3953 (alloy frame 3913) with an 8 shot capacity loaded with Buffalo Bore 9mm+p 147gr hardcast (1100fps rated) took down a grizzly.
The guide fired 6 shots before the grizzly began to flee, the 7th shot hit in the pelvis fleeing, leaving him with one round!
Amazing story, and very lucky!
