The problem with mercury is...How cold would it have to get to solidify and make a decent projectile. I think dropping it inot a JHP and seeling with wax would be the best. But then how heavy would that bullet be?

Also not to mention Mercury is quite the neurotoxin. If you're not careful with it, you'll end up turning your property into a Superfund site.
If you really wanted to try this, making a silver/tin/mercury amalgam (like dentists used to do) but I have no idea how effective it would be as a bullet. It'd probably be much better as a pure silver bullet, though.

How much silver is required to kill a werewolf?

'bout this much!

I be leary of using mercury on a werewolf. It will taint the meat!
So how much rice do you think I need for a good werewolf gumbo?

I thought after you shot it, it would turn back into human and die, no?

Oh yeah! Geez, what was I thinking? OK how about this, is there a season for werewolves or would they be considered a varmit? Or exotic? Seriously, (can I say that in this thread?) I woudn't want to get in trouble with the game warden.

Varmint, of course. The problem is I am not sure if there's legislation against using silver or mercury bullets. Definitely not mercury as it would cause too much environmental hazard.
Another problem is that if, let's say I did open fire within my home, would I still be protected under Cattle Doctrine or would I be charged for killing an endangered animal?
Oopus, Caslte Doctrine.

They'd just want to know why you had a dead guy in your living room.

I am pretty sure deputies around the great state of Texas would understand.
"werewolves? Oh, yeah, we got couple of them crawling around here.."

You're probably right.

Do I still need to aim for COM when shooting a werewolf or vampire or any part of the body would do?

Center mass should do, but you'll need to follow up with a stake through the heart.
