Not very far - several feet, perhaps, depending on a few things like caliber and what sets it off. The nature of Physics dictates that the lighter component will be launched. Generally the case (brass) is the part that is lighter. Smokeless powder burns, it does not explode. The burning of the powder in a restricted space (the chamber/barrel of a gun) enables pressures to rise and propel the bullet as significant velocity. Outside of these confines, the powder is not able to develop significant pressure. The inertia of the heavier component (often times the bullet) causes it to move very little. The lighter component will be launched but at a significantly reuced velocity from that which the gun barrel will propel the bullet. I have seen ammunition that "cooked off" in a fire. Generally the bullet is still in the case (brass) but the primer is the part that was propelled.
