At 50 yards, I'm not sure the 06 would expand enough to do sufficient damage. A great chance of a pass through without causing lethal damage.

Huh? explain that to me

The 438 grain slug at about 100fps slower at the muzzle is going to deliver almost 300 ft lbs. @ 50 yards, shock the animal, expand to do maximum internal damage, and drop the critter where it stands.
Apparently you disagree. More power to ya!

Use the one you can shoot the best and are most comfortable with. Either gun willkill a blackie at 50 paces if you put the lead where it goes. The slug gun will do it with immediate authority, the '06 may have a little less immediate effect, but it will get the job done. (Note: Alaskans who regularly fish and hunt in grizzly territory seem to favor carrying a 12 gauge over carrying an '06 slung over their shoulder. Could be that they know something that those of us down here in the lower 48 don't.)
