Chris,
There are many people who can remove the powder without destroying the shell. You might want to contact Brad Rogers at East Carolina University, or Steve Sylvia with the North South Trader in Orange, VA

It is looking more and more like it is NOT ordinance, but we are going to proceed as though it were. We are contacting the KBI here in Topeka and will ask them to first xray the object and then, if it appears to have a chamber inside (as opposed to solid metal), to blow it up in a manner that might at least leave us some pieces. If there is ANY question about it's safety that artifact is toast as far as I am concerned. Again, thank you all for your sage advice.
