Which rifle for grizzly

[JO.]

I'd lean to the 325 just for the cool factor, but sounds like the Wby may be a better fit for the weather and conditions. Any major difference in barrel length on either? Muzzle brakes?

Need some input or advice.
Planning a grizzly hunt in Alaska, have two rifles I can take.
Both will shoot at .75 at 100 yards. One is a 300 Weatherby shooting 180 TSX. The other a 325 wsm shooting a 200 Partition.
I’m told, most shots are around 150 yards or less. They are pretty much neck and neck at that range.
Please don’t tell me to buy another rifle, even though I’d not be against a 375 H&H sitting in the safe.
Probably not, so just consider the two.
Thanks for any about any cal. rifle shooting 150gn bullet is plenty

I used the 300 W on a Brown Bear at 60 yds. Double lunged, broke far shoulder, bear ran 60 yds and was dead in seconds.
Used 300 short mag on interior griz and Nanook.

Winchester 92 in 45-70 Or a pump shotgun running 3" magnum slugs.

@TrevN Find anything under the hide that did not belong?

Looking at an outfitter on Popoff Island.
The 300 is a Weathermark with a 3.5-15x44 VX5HD.
The 325 is a Model 70 with a laminate stock and a 4.5-14x40 VX3i scope.
Based on what I’m hearing, the Weatherby is the best bet. Worrying about the rifle is the last thing I want to do.

Who is the outfitter?
