Personally id still consider try compressing the load a bit more & seat 5 rounds .015" deeper for a test, may also wish to keep your ammo in a iced down cooler, up to just,prior to firing as well.
Just seems like less trouble than pulling bullets. Removing the packed in compressed powder that tends to be sticky & difficult to manage. then see if that powder in question meters well for your own reloads. Sounds like you are primary just after the brass if I understand correctly.
Otherwise Id look at pulling bullets & seating a lighter bullet with the same charge if I understand your goal here is primarily to acquire a brass supply.
I had considered something similar in the past & after removing powder from one cartridge I abandoned the idea of re-measuring an alternate charge of the original powder. Your milage may vary.
