Terrrible comparison. Muzzleloading shotgun vs high powered rifle? C'mon! Let's do this right.
A .223 puts out about the same energy as a 45-70 Gov't, with a lighter, faster bullet and much flatter trajectory. Tell you what. We'll take 2 rounds apiece. You, as the speed whiz, get to take the .223 and I'll take the ol' 45-70 punkin roller. We'll go hunting grizzly bears in heavy cover.
Aurthur,
I'd take the .223

Naw probably not, but it could kill a bear none the less. as long as it isn't loaded with HP's. Couple solids in the head should do it.
I have seen one arrow in the head kill a giant Griz.
