First of all, I'm not convinced a bullet made from sand and epoxy would penetrate someone's skull, it's going to be much lighter than a lead projectile and may come apart when it strikes the bone. Secondly, any evidence this unique would be of tremendous evidentiary value in a criminal investigation. Remember, the evidence left at a crime scene tells a story and is used to link the perpetrator to the scene.
One would need a bullet mold and reloading equipment to pull it off and you'd end up with a cartridge with limited performance (accuracy and penetration).
I have no knowledge of firearm/ammunition laws in Sweden, but assuming ammunition is available on a retail basis, you might ask for the Nagant ammo. I have to believe it's a special-order and that would be an investigators dream.
