Mercury is bullcrap.
Buying tungsten carbide screws is the best way to make AP rounds.
For 9mm, use 90 grain JHPs with a tungsten screw drilled into the hollow point a couple of millimeters.
Load the round as hot as it will go, around 1500fps.
Light and hot 9mm, .357 mag, .40cal 5.7 and 7.62x25 will all easily defeat level 2 vests.

What I always hear is to pour mercury into a hollowpoint and cap it with wax. Just sounds like nonsense to me.
Realisticly, the terminal result would be a wobbly, inaccurate paintball going downrange.
And a bill from the environmental remediation company for thousands of dollars, to cover the cost of cleaning up all the mercury contaminated dirt in the area of the target, if you got caught doing this kind of stupid ####.
It's for the children!
Any liquid in a hollow point will maybe serve to help the projectile expand (by hydraulic pressure) but mercury in a hollow point sure won't help it get through body armor.
A little bit of looking into how body armor works, and you start to see why most of these ideas are crap. Kevlar stops a blunt, relatively slow moving projectile. Not worth a damn against a sharp point or edge at speed. That's what ballistic plates are for.
