ballistically, they are pretty close, no? It's a personal preference I believe.

However, for what you describe, I'm assuming (uh, oh) you are prioritizing weight and it's more for predator protection at close range.......


it's well known that at close range......with equal penetration (ha)..........


the bullet with the larger metplat (diameter) will be the more effective in a defensive situation against a 4 legged mountain predator......

so if it was I......I would go with a heavy semi wadcutter in a .44 special.

probably a bear load from HSM......and hopefully it will go clean through the skull or base of the skull................

but that won't happen since avoiding the situation in its entirety is always the silver bullet.....................if a charging griz is close, it's most likely too late anyway but you hear the stories to the contrary on occasion
