For grizzlies, specific, I'd shorten the cases to 2" and crimp in some top-end loads with the 350gr. Speer. At 2,000fps, they'll give some minor expansion which is necessary upon impact to slightly increase the bullet diameter but hold together for complete penetraton. I'd use the same load you're using with the 400 Barnes - maybe increase 1 to 2 gr.
