I did spend a fair bit of time dismantling my dad's shotgun cartridges and setting the gunpowder on fire as a kid....!! It is fairly unspectacular to be honest. They were easy as you could just cut the plastic casing, discard the shot and set fire to the powder.
I didn't consider you could dismantle a bullet, but a quick Google backs up @Dibble 's suggestion. Whether or not I choose to do that is a different matter.

I’ve struggled to answer this, I grew up around firearms and am obviously more comfortable around them than most.
The skill involved in disassembling a round is minimal as are any risks involved.I shouldn’t have said light the propellant for a laugh though it’s something I’ve done myself many times.

I am just going to step in and say I think @eskay should take the live .38 bullet to the police or a gun shop. For proper disposal.
No pulling copper tips, emptying/lighting the powder. FFS.
If I've missed the sarcasm, apologies. If I've assumed @eskay isn't smart enough to make the correct decision by themselves, apologies.
If this post stops @eskay from blowing his canister off, you're welcome.
