Got a couple more vicious watermelon need dipatching,and am currently devoid of 454 ammo, got 800 coming in soon though
Any help will help out alot, thanks.
rob thr AP blunter wannabe (I figure you could find some bullets like that but I aint set up for reloading)

Good luck.

Those AP cores are hardened, which is what makes them AP. Pointy as hell, too.

DHA - You're wasting your time. The bullet will still not expand if your ammo is really military AP. You'll get the same size hole as before. But if you're determined, I would wrap the cartridge in a cold wet rag and use a chop saw.
If it gets hot enough to ignite the powder, your left arm will be considerably shorter than your right when the smoke clears.
