There are bullets (that is the projectile that gets shot out of the barrel) and cartridges (cartridge case, powder, primer, bullet) It may be possible to recover a fired bullet, load it into a cartridge case with a new primer and powder, and shoot it again- BUT bullets are generally rather soft, and likely to get bent up on impact. Once a CARTRIDGE has fired, it needs to have the old primer removed, new one installed, fresh charge of gunpowder put in place, and THEN load a bullet into the cartridge case.
