Bad idea unless you are a professional.
Many people have lost fingers, hands, eyes and even life from trying to remove the powder from a live round of ammunition. Don't do it.

Agree with the two answers above. Now that three of us have told you that, leave it alone. It's official. Very dangerous, and unsmart.

Is it true that if there is more smokeless powder in a bullet and is fired it will make the barrel hotter rather than a bullet with less smokeless powder?
Yes. The more powder the bigger the bang and the faster the bullet moves. The faster the bullet goes, the more heat energy it will generate because of friction, and the initial blast from the powder.
What is the powder container for a bullet called?
Bullet case, or simply, case.
How do you get speed from a bullet?
Gun powder.
How many grains of powder in a 44 magnum bullet?
BULLETS are the metal projectile- the thing that comes out of the barrel- and contain no powder. The entire round of ammo is a CARTRIDGE (case, primer, powder, bullet). And there is no one answer for a .44 magnum cartridge- powder charge will vary, depending on WHICH powder is used, and which weight of bullet.
How is bullet propelled?
When the primer is struck, it ignites. When it does, it ingites the powder charge. The powder charge explosion pushes the bullet down and then out of the barrel.
How do you tell the powder load in a gun cartridge?
The only way to be certain is to remove the bullet with a bullet puller, empty out the powder, and weigh it.
Is a bullet a bullet if there is no powder and no primer present?
Yes. The bullet is only the projectile. A bullet with case, powder, and primer is a cartridge. A cartridge without powder or primer is called a dummy cartridge because it will fit into a firearm but will not fire. Dummies are used for non firing training with weapons, and for display purposes.
What does the grain mean in a bullet?
Grain refers to the weight of the bullet when measured on a powder scale.
How much powder is in a 50 caliber bullet?
There is no powder in the bullet at all. A bullet is just the projectile, typically made from lead and copper. Powder is contained in the cartridge casing. The actual amount depends on the powder used, but on average a .50 BMG cartridge would contain about 220 grains of powder. This is equal to 14.5 grams or 7.76 ounces.
How fast does a typical bullet travel from a rifle?
that depends on caliber, bullet weight, powder type, amount of powder, the gun used and other factors.
What does the grain number of a bullet mean?
Grain refers to the weight of the bullet when measured on a powder scale.
What type of powder and bullet do you use for a CVA Bobcat black powder rifle?
Black powder, or a BP substitute such as Pyrodex. NEVER use smokeless powder. For bullets, either a lead bullet made for muzzleloaders, or a muzzleloading sabot and matching bullet. You need to read the owner's manual. If you do not have one, contact CVA thru their website.
