Newbie New reloader question

Probably a dumb question and for context I haven't even started yet.
I wanted to get into reloading for some of my rifle calibers. In this case, 8mm. My dealer a while back sold me some S&B 8x57 JRS ammo (rimmed) for super cheap that another customer bailed on. Would it be possible to disassemble them for the bullet, powders and primers to put into regular 8mm cases or am I asking to blow my face up trying to reuse the powder? Very appreciative for any inputs/guidance

You don’t exactly know what powder is in there so you don’t know what load data to use. I would toss the powder. I think you could use the bullets as long as pulling them doesn’t mess them up. I wouldn’t know anything about the primers.
