I haven't hunted with 9mm in Nebraska, just to clarify. I'm fairly new to this state.

I would go with that also.  Cabelas often has Ruger Alaskan's chambered in 454 either new or over in the gun library.  Recoil isn't the friendliest but will stop a black bear better than the .44mag.

A bit of review from KJW :

LAR Grizzly in .45 Winchester Magnum.  There's one on Gunbroker right now for under $1k.
