Jan 9, 2022 · "Though exposure to KRYPTONITE rays can harm SUPERBOY, a bullet made of it cannot penetrate his skin, because, unlike other materials from KRYPTON, KRYPTONITE is not indestructible. KRYPTONITE bullets or shells would merely shatter against his invulnerable body.

Unless you've got Lex Luthor bankrolling you, chances are that you either can't afford to make a Kryptonite bullet, or you can't afford to miss (which, again, Superman is fast enough that missing is a near-certainty).
The answer to your question is no. The only way to kill Superman with 100% certainty is with a Kryptonite bullet in the head. Anywhere else and he would immediately recover after the bullet is removed or with yellow sun exposure.
Anyone who would shoot him with a Kryptonite bullet would probably give it a lead jacket or something, too. That would make it looks like a normal bullet, block the Kryptonite radiation, and offer some physical protection to the Kryptonite itself - wouldn't want the gunpowder to blow up a rare crystal in your barrel.
Kryptonite has weakened Superman before to the point where someone could kill him if they wanted or a Kryptonite bullet being used (but being shot can kill most people anyway).
