What would cause more tissue damage, a Remington core-lokt 180 grain soft point spitzer 308 or a Winchester 1 ounce 12 gauge deer slug
Range would be max 75 yards

In that one very very specific and unlikely situation where I had 3 seconds to defend my life from a charging grizzly bear, I would want a mossberg 930 loaded with dixie slugs. Not so much because of what its chambered in but because a shotgun with a vent rib and top safety is the quickest pointing and shooting thing that I have ever shot and I would have the most confidence out of anything that I could make the shot while peeing myself. For the other 99.9999999999% of situations I'll take a scoped rifle.
Fear is a powerful motivator.I do enjoy a good bear thread. Fear of bears is what convinces my wife to allow my firearm purchases.
But we do know what bears do in the woods.The problem with bear threads is most people have never seen a bear in the woods let alone shot one.
