Super lethal rounds may not be that at all, especially if they are factory loads.

Cleveland Williams, who came into the ring weighing 212 pounds, a fraction of that weight a .357 magnum slug still lodged in his body, courtesy of a Texas state trooper who, two years before, had taken umbrage at something the Cat had said and now sat in the audience to root for the man who carried the souvenir of his handiwork.
Surely you remember Cassius Clay vs Cleveland "Big Cat" Williams in 1966?

Quote:
Williams was shot with a .357 Magnum in the abdomen, barely survived, and suffered permanent kidney damage, a loss of over ten feet of his small intestine, and nerve damage from the bullet which affected his left leg above the knee, causing it to atrophy as a result.
Come to think of it, they may have not even had jacketed .357 factory loads in 1964.
