It was late last night and I forgot to add this. The last thing you want going through your mind as a grizzly is charging is "Boy, I wish I had brought a bigger gun." With that said, you need to big a gun that you can handle the recoil on. I shoot a .300 Win Mag a lot, but have never shot anything larger than that. At first, I couldn't handle the recoil of the .300 Win Mag because the rifle was way too light. I added some weight and modifications to it and now it is a joy to shoot.

Regarding bullets, I would probably go with something like the Barnes X bullet which is a solid copper bullet with good expansion, cutting ability, and bone breaking ability. Bullet selection is a big thing for most game.
