If you're really worried about it I suppose you could ask someone who handloads their own ammo and have them try to remove the powder from the round for you before reassembling it. Not really sure if that can be done since I don't know too many handloaders and they generally like to put propellant in the round to fire it off. If it can be done then you'll have 8 really cool 'duds' that show off rounds from 'the rifle that won the great war'.
itd be easier and safer to make a water trap, catch the bullets and then replace them in the catridge

Im personally also worried about the corrosion on the round in the picture

Re: I need some help from you gun people.

Corrosion? I thought bullets (even back then) used brass casings? The blue/green patina is supposed to stop further corrosion of the casing isn't it?
