Will a bullet in a fire go off?
No- but a CARTRIDGE can. The bullet is the solid metal part of a cartridge that comes out of the end of the barrel. Being solid metal, there is no part of it that is flammable or explosive. A CARTRIDGE is an entire. loaded round of ammunition (Cartridge case, primer, powder, and bullet) If those are in a fire and get hot enough, they will explode. However, when not confined in a gun barrel, the energy is not directed, and pieces of the case or bullet will usually only travel a few feet.
Casting requires a heat source, a melting pot, casting metal, and a mold. Having good ventilation is also a must. While there are a number of steps (and books written on the subject), in brief- select the alloy of lead/tin/antimony for the bullet you want to cast. The metal is melted, and fluxed (usually a small bit of beeswax added to the melted metal) Metal is dipped from the pot by ladle and poured into the bullet mold. The sprue cutter of the mold clips off the excess metal, mold is opened, releasing the bullet. Some bullets will need to be sized and lubed, and some have a gas check (harder metal cap) placed on the base.

How do you remove a 20 mm bullet from its case?
A 20mm is considered a cannon shell. While some are solid projectiles, many have an explosive or incendiary core. These also contain a powerful primer to ignite the large charge of powder. Attempting to disassemble large caliber ammunition is very hazardous, and should not be attempted. Ordnance disposal staff use special tools and safety equipment when it is necessary to do this. These shells are capable of causing death or serious permanent injury. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS.
If by flip you mean tumble in the air then it depends on the type of AK that is being fired. If the AK is cheaply made and has a low quality barrel then the bullet may tumble in the air. Quality AK47s do not have this problem.

How is gunpowder put in the bullets?
Gunpowder is not put in bullets- it is put in a cartridge case. It is measured, poured into the case, and then the bullet (part that comes out of the barrel) is pressed into the mouth of the cartridge case, and the case is crimped to hold the bullet in place. This is done using a tool called a loading press and a loading die.
