The .357 Magnum with a 4" barrel (or better) and quality 125 grain semi-jacketed hollow point ammo is the best man stopper. The .45 acp isn't a slouch either. Never heard of the brand name 'Kamper.' Did you mean Kimber? That is a good configuration for the old 1911 .45 auto.
The .357 is going to be less pricey than a Kimber, but louder and with a bit more recoil. Which can you handle better? The .45 holds more bullets and recovery time is quicker for a followup shot. The .357 is more forgiving as far as maintenance and cleaning is concerned (especially the 686 because it is stainless steel). Finally, the .357 will chamber and shoot mild or hot .38 Specials for practice or in case the .357 is too intense for your taste.
Final note: Either one will shoot through a lot of dry wall so exercise caution and gun safety at all times.

If you are talking about a .45 acp KIMBER. . .
Nice gun, pricey. Good personal defense gun.
S&W 686, 357 Mag. nice revolver, powerful round. Good sidearm to have while hunting.
.45 will throw a larger, heavier bullet.
.357 mag. will throw lighter bullet but at much higher velocities.

Carrying a pistol is probably a waste of time and energy when hunting grizzly bear. First, you really don't want to get close enough that you'd need your pistol. I assume you are hunting with a rifle. If you're not hunting with a rifle then don't go grizzly bear hunting. Period. I've hunted them twice, both times in Alaska using a .375 H & H. The first one I shot was at a distance of less than 100 yards. It dropped like a stone. The guide made me put another shot in it, which I did. The second was just a bit over 100 yards and again, the guide made me put in a second shot. "Insurance" the guide said. It never occurred to me to carry a pistol. We did a lot of walking, a pistol would have been cumbersome and useless. That's my opinion. If you're insistent on hunting grizzly with a pistol, neither of your suggested rounds would be safe.

"kamper"? What is that? Keep your 686. It's a good piece and .357 is more than enough.

Assuming you are referring to a .45 ACP Kimber, both are excellent weapons. The better one for self-defense is whichever one you are most comfortable with and shoot best.

With 125gr. hollowpoints the .357 is considered one of the best for SD.
