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.
