Hopefully not an off topic comment.

Daryl, you say a 16 bore with ball is fine for grizzly. But I have seen people been scathing about people that think carrying a 12 gauge shotgun, loaded with slugs or brenneckes, s protection against grizzlys. Any reasons for the difference? Or do you think a 12 gauge is fine as well? I would think a 12 gauge slub load is superior to a 16 bore ball?

Waited a bit on this thread in case the question is a bit off topic.
