a chest shot and thats the shot i think stopped him and the 2 in the head and i think 1 did not penetrate ( cheek area )

You bet Jack-I was told the bloody skull on an Alaskan Grizz is very thick-head shot thru the eye socket kills em But what you described "a charging grizz" I have no doubt I would shat my breeches. I think that is why a lot of bear hunters carry a large and very sharp bowie knife made in usa encase they have to wrassle with ole grizz after weapon empty and no time to reload.

In your case a nice gurka blade would do.
