Answer 1

There is a tool called a bullet puller.  It works on inertia.  It looks kind of like a hammer.  The loaded cartridge is locked in place and you swing and hit a hard surface and the bullet pops out.  You can dump the powder out and spray a little WD40 inside the case to kill the primmer.  This is going to be too expensive for a one shot (pardon the pun) deal.  If you just want the brass why not go to shooting range and pick up a piece?

Answer 2

most gun ranges these days have reloading equipment, and would be happy to pull the bullet for you (let them keep the bullet to use in their own reloading).

Answer 3

If you have the rifle that this bullet fits on hand, shoot the bullet into a safe target, and eject the shell.  Clean the rifle, and you're done.  The casing is empty and the primer is no longer an issue.

Answer 4

If you go to a local range there are usually empty fired casings all over the place.
