"do not shoot 454 Casull in your 45-70"
Well my experience with bears has only been with black, and brown, but you only have time for 1 or 2 shots, if your lucky you may get 3 shots.
I know that a hit with a smaller round is better than missing with a bigger round, but a 9mm is just going to **** 'em off.
A friend of mine carries a 416 Wby Mag, and I know this works.
My father use to carry a winchester defender 12g, 1oz slugs, he knows they'll stop a bear.
But what ever you decide, make sure you know how to use it, and train with it.
