It varies. The one sitting on the desk in front of me right now is about 73 degrees F. Your question is a bit vague.
When a bullet is fired, the gunpowder ignites and creates hot gases that propel the bullet out of the barrel at high speeds. Friction between the bullet and the barrel also generates heat. Additionally, air resistance as the bullet travels through the air can further heat it up.

The metal would need to be past its melting point to work in a bullet mold. For example, if the metal was stainless steel, the temperature is 1510 degrees Celsius.
Because when it is hit with the heat it explodes and the explosion/hot air pushes the bullet forward!
Nicole Muirbrook.... She's so hot.

They dont need to take the bullet out in many cases. Doctors will evaluate if it is safe to remove the bullet or not. It is not unusual to hear a bullet lodged in to a skull or spinal cord to be left in the body. Due to friction between the bullet and barrel plus the atmosphere by the time bullet reaches the body its already too hot and perfectly sterilised. There is no risk of infection from the bullet. Lead poisoning can only happen when there is oxidation. As oxigen can not reach the lead in the body it is safe to leave it in rather than causing more damage to the body trying to take it out.
That varies depending on the cartridge, and how far the bullet is from the firearm in flight. Bullets are heated both from the explosion of gunpowder, and friction as they are forced up the barrel, but begin to cool very quickly. A physics group made a study of measuring the temperature of a bullet in flight using high speed cameras that could measure temperatures from the infrared light emitted by a hot object. Using a 5.56mm firearm (similar to the M16) they found that the bullet was about 513 degrees F measured about 10 ft from the muzzle.
Yes, empty bullet shells can still be dangerous as they may contain residual gunpowder or be hot to the touch. It is important to handle them with caution to avoid any potential harm.
It is a blank cartridge, and yes, it could. While blanks have no bullet, they still have a very high pressure jet of hot gas. There have been fatal shootings at very close range with blank ammunition.
