cutting shell

I wouldn't .....

there is a fair amount of powder and "stuff" that will come out of the primer when it fires ....

Its best done inside a barrel - like we've suggested, in my opinion.
 
Yep, just shoot the primer in your gun. I've used BigJim's method many times to make a 'live" primer "dead".
 
A vise ain't needed... just put the brass section on the floor and smack the snot out of it with a 3 pound hammer... Oughta work fine!

So you ain't got a shotgun to bust the primer off in.

I'm guessing you put the barrel securely between sand bags, insert a primerless hull and look through the flash hole. Center your target in the center of the muzzle opening and then correct your slug sights to aim at the same point. I've always thought of bore sighting as a way to minimize the number of rounds required to zero a new sight. Not really necessary, but it doesn't hurt.
 
kx592, I don't blame you. With today's prices, some sabots going for about the same price as rifle safari ammo, it's not quite the same a zeroing the sights on the old .22 LR.

The next time you have a question, please fully describe what you have in mind in the OP. This time, we got completely sidetracked discussing unloading the shell, instead of focusing on the cheapest way to zero your sights.
