Bear spray is usually a better choice, on account of a whole lot of factors. At the very least you should bring both and issue a warning with bear spray.
Edit: how to use bear spray
Also, be aware that the weather is orders of magnitude more likely to kill you than a bear, and avoiding bear encounters is usually fairly easy to begin with. If you're carrying a gun but not a compass, your risk assessment is WAY off.
I carry bear spray in black bear country. Thankfully I don't live anywhere near grizzly bears (although they're talking about reintroducing them here). I thought I remembered reading somewhere that bear spray isn't very effective against grizzlies.
To be fair, neither is a single round fired center of mass unless it's like a 12.7×99 mm.
Are you familiar with the .45-70 round?
