My favorite is the fellow who wanted a .22-250 for hunting rabbits. Instead of shooting the rabbit with attendant damage, one shoots between the ears. The ears, being the most sensitive part of a bunny, transmits the shock wave and kills the rabbit without harming the meat.
Maybe if the 458 Lott bullet had gone between the ears it would have killed the rabbit. I was a little low but still didn't ruin any edible meat.
There was the time when shooting a 460 Weatherby Magnum (with the Pendleton Brake) that a fly fell out of somewhere on to the table dead.
