* * * They shot a Grizzly head at 20' with the 20ga and a slug and the shug was deflected away but the head. At the same distance a 12ga slug merely cracked the skull. If I was out hunting, I would not give up my rifle for a shotgun but if I was along fishing with other people I think a 12ga would be the thing to have. When I went fishing in Alaska with friend's I took along my 308 with 200gr bullet's. When I went fishing alone, I took my fishing rod!

Unless you're John Wick,
... skip the fantasy of trying to stop 800lbs of charging, p.o.-ed Grizzly with a 12ga.
Use a .375H&H or something similar in the magnum rifle class.
If I could source one, an M1 Garand chambered in
.458 Win Mag would be ideal medicine for stopping the Big Bruins.
