Buy recommendations Bear charge scenario: bolt gun splits?

I'm new to measuring splits between shots, and curious what everyone's baseline is for medium bore rifles at 25 yards or so?

Trying to decide if I should put together a 223 trainer or just run a lot of snap cap drills.

I dont know what that is but If you put ten rounds in a ruger american or something and practiced A LOT I think it would be a decent defense. As others have stated, a shotgun with slugs would be better though. Lever guns 44 or 3030 can be very effective too, but again, much practice.
