Surprisingly, no one has ever responded, which strikes me as odd since, given the frequency of the "what gun" discussion, grizzly charges must be going on every day in at least 38 states...
Captain America said:No grizzly's here in SE PA but I do see the occasional Black Bear, their pretty docile and skittish so I don't fear them as much as I respect them...but I do wonder if the .357 I have with me will be enough. Just don't get between mom and the little ones and they generally ignore you.

LOL But that's not that far from the truth. It's a gamble at best.

You haven't "asked people who have actually survived a grizzly charge...", you have only asked forum members and shouldn't expect much more than opinions on forums. So you're especially not likely to get actual grizzly charge experiences on a specifically Ruger forum. And the frequency of discussions and opinions have no relationship to frequency of occurrences or experiences.
If you want facts, you need to go to the sources and read the non-fiction books. Then you too can learn about hundreds of documented attacks. Not many opinions in forums are based on those.
