They seem to have very little problem doing this. The death and injury from bears is not very high and that is from a population that lives side by side with them.
Do you have any idea what the smallest caliber used in a frontal one shot kill on a charging Grizzly Bear was?
Making these animals into something they are not, is just boastful crowing. Your example of the multiple hit by a .300 mag is nothing more than poor shooting. Remember having a weapon and being able to use it efficently are two distinctly different issues.

Get educated. The so called "pip-squeak" .38-55, 30-30, and 32 Win Spl cartridges actually have more energy than the .357, .44, and .454 mentioned by oddjob, and aren't that far behind the .460 and .500
