Muzzleloading for bears

So my new hunt club has a healthy population of bears on it.
I was looking at both archery hunting for them as well as Muzzleloading for them.
Would a 250 grain be enough stopping power for a Ga Black bear?
Or should I look at pushing up aound 300 grain?
I'm looking at the barnes spit-fire expander MZ.

What does everyone thing of this round?

a .22 Short will kill a Grizz if you put it in the right place!

Anything that will kill deer cleanly will kill a bear cleanly.
 
If you can take it with a bow, my two cents would be yes. Look at history, how many bear have been taken prior to modern firearms using a patched ball with black powder? Quite a few id wager
