Question 454 Casull, big enough to stop a grizzley?

What do you all think? Would a 454 Casull stop a grizzley at short range? I don't yet own a handgun and if I do get one, I want something that has multiple purposes; home protection, whitetail hunting and something to give me a little piece of mind when I go fly-fishing in bear country again. I'd be interested if anyone had new of an article on the net or (god-forbid)had first or second hand knowledge of a large caliber handgun killing a grizzley. I've always been kinda skeptical of ANY handgun round having the knockdown power to take down one of these beasts but after looking at some of the energy produced by the Casull, I'm not so sure.
